also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

We're back!
I don't know what that was all about. All the VoyForums were out for a few days.
So looking forward to see y'all again, and rest assured there was no conspiracy thing going on.
.... as far as I know ;)

Here's what they said:
* Monday, January 23, 2006: System hardware failures (resolved)
Dear admins and visitors, VoyForums was down due to hardware failures. The problems have been resolved and the system is back up -- we have taken great efforts to ensure no data or messages have been lost, but are still terribly sorry for the downtime. VoyForums is well-known for its extremely high uptime, which we pride ourselves on, but sometimes an unfortunate event like this does occur.
Some good news: We are very soon going to be getting new systems, which will further improve, noticably, on VoyForums speed for both you and all visitors. Again, we apologize for the unscheduled downtime, as it was a hardware failure and we could not notify you in advance; and again, we have ensured no messages or data have been lost, but if you are finding any problems with your forum, please contact us directly either through our bug contact form or via an email directly to VoyForums Support Email Address.
Again, we're very sorry, but thank you for your patience during this time. We don't foresee any near problems.
Sincerely,
VoyForums Management

Thanks for the update.
Anyone else thinking we won't be getting a forum? It doesn't take 3 weeks to create that or re-do a website.

I think we're getting one, I just have a nasty suspicion I'm not gonna like it.
Mods, multiple forums to confuse me, stupid avatars and crap that will make a page take 4 minutes to load on my dial-up at home, etcetera.
I'm sure mister positivity today, aren't I?
(and I still think it was taken down due to the content. Too much AS bashing for some people's tastes. Not that I blame anyone, I really don't, I'm glad people voiced their opinions. Just my take).

Well I'm going to be Ms. Positivity and say with all the changes that may happen with this "new" forum, I hope it still remains an interesting place, because of the people who will be there.
I can handle a moderator, but I don't like all the different categories.
btw I like what you said at the AS forum alight and I hope we get some answers soon. I didn't say anything over there because i don't like posting (allthough it's hard) but I'm not an "AS Fan" so it doesn't feel right.

Well, we got some answers, but they didn't really answer anything!
Y'know, I don't want to pull a Susan Silver, but that "security reasons" shit sounds awfully 'Bushy' to me.
