Just to echo Torq...
Yes, folks, we've done a little retro-grade here. So... you will need to check your sig blocks, profiles, avi's, etc. --> make sure they say what you want them to say. You can change them at your whimsy.
For things that require ADMIN changes (i.e. names): PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have patience!!! You can send Torq a PM with your name change (please include your CURRENT name AND the name you are requesting the name change to in the body of the message), but do take note that it might take some time to make the change, as we are obviously backlogged right now with a bunch of stuff from the server crashout.
Additionally, you will note that the forums looks different: we know. PLEASE don't send us PMs telling us... we're aware of it already & we're working hard to get it back to what it SHOULD look like... but again, it takes time... so go ahead & post now where you think it should be & then we'll re-arrange the sub-forums areas as we can get to it.
Chatters: we know it's down. We PROMISE we're working to get it back up & running ASAP. We know you guys can't live w/o your addiction for too long ;-) When it's up WE WILL MAKE A POST that it's up... so PLEAAAASE don't flood the boards w/messages that it's down.
Thanks EVERYONE for your patience as we work through this massive loss of data et al. We understand everyone has varying responses to this crash & we value everyone as part of the community here on the site, so we're trying our very best to keep y'all in the loop as we move forward w/fixing it on up.
