This site is still buggered up. The search function isn't working, the Korean forums are down, and polls are down.
It's going to take Dave a lot of work to get things up again.
I would assume he would want us all to be patient, as I am sure he has recieved tons of e-mail already. |

I posted this in China when people asked the same thing, figured it'd be of use here as well...
Dave's reply to the email I sent yesterday asking where the site was. He was pretty prompt too.

We've had some major problems with the sever, so new and more powerful equipment was installed, as well as software to combat this problem. Good news: we are actually online now, but it may take a day or two before your computer can access the new IP address (try a restart). We are also working on updating the discussion forums, so they may be out of commission until this evening.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
All the best,

As you know, we've had some major problems with the sever, so new and more powerful equipment was installed as you suggested, as well as software to combat this problem. Good news: we are actually online now, but it may take a day or two before your computer can access the new IP address (you suggested to try a restart so we are recommending this to everyone).

Your good friend and mentor,

So Great Wall, since you're so tight with Dave, when will the site be up 100%. Still lots of error messages for the varous functions here.
I know, be patient. Funny how it is probably bothering us, more than him. He is listening to us whine and thinking to himself, Get a life. |

I don't buy that server line.
I think Dave's fooling around with trying to install some new features and he's botched it.
See the new homepage? Well, I'm sure he's been trying something with the forum, too.
But have patience with him, all. We all get tempted to take something apart now and again and then try to put it back together....
Why doens't he just hire someone to do this for him? |

Well, the other day Dave and I were having a drink* and it seems to me he takes this site very seriously**.
Not to worry. Most features are now up and running.
*But not together in the same company as one another.
** Just my opinion. Didn't base this opinion on actually meeting him. |
