Hi friends. The user forum software went haywire this weekend and caused the site to go down. Seeing as how nobody was using the forum any more, I’ve shut it down rather than go through the expense of fixing it. It was fun while it lasted. (Kind of?)

You can still have discussions in the comments for individual articles. 

Along similar lines I also de-activated the private message function, which nobody has used in a while either. If anyone has content in there that they want to access, let me know and I can flip it back on temporarily.
