Forum problems

We are currently experiencing some problems using the forums. Right now, it's unclear what's causing the error, but as far as I can tell it is a server problem and not local (eg. we have not been hacked, and I haven't stupidly changed something).

It will be fixed as soon as possible, but in the meantime, hang in there...

UPDATE: There was a major problem discovered in the forum software we are using (phpBB); due to the severity of this flaw, our hosts temporarily disabled all forums. Things will be back to normal soon.
