Did Eric say what the hell happened to their servers? It's one thing for a server to go down for a while, but since Saturday? Plus, everything should be redundant. I am sure they would have all their databases backed-up, so that if a server crashes, you just upload to another server. It's simple (unless nothing is backed-up, which I can't imagine).

The only thing I can guess is that they're doing some kind of a major upgrade (inspired by Spearboard, no doubt!). Or, maybe the FBI confisgated all their servers after that kid used the forum to sell stolen rods and reels. One last possibility is that Genesis sold them on the idea that they should switch to his homemade diesel-powered servers, constructed of coconuts and tinfoil.

Eric, stop the speculation! If you read this, register and tell us whats going on. I promise not to "cut off your air."

I read that their site got hacked and a bunch of members deleted; maybe that caused part of the delay as well.

Either way, I'm posting a whole lot more here now anyway. It's nice to be able to discuss stuff without having some blowhard asshole jumping. OK, not just ANY blowhard asshole...
