Hey all, woke up to some unfortunate news that the company who I was using to host the BR registration site deleted the server without warning or explanation. Assholes.
I have backups and am working on moving them to a new server. The forum is up and running without issue, but new signups will be temporarily paused until the new server is configured.
No data was leaked, lost, stolen, or anything. Some dum dum just deleted it.
If you know anyone who is trying to register, please let them know I’m aware of the issue and working to resolve it asap. Registrations should be back up and running as usual later today.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks everyone
I experienced an oddity with the site today. Can’t access the website from the core address, https://boardrats.com or https://boardrats.com/, but have accessed it via email links to the forum. So, when I entered and clicked the link for “Board Rats” is does come up. Eventually this is what appears on my screen:
Yes, this is the issue I’m working to resolve right now. Thank you
aaaaand we’re back to normal operations. Registration and signups are back up and running. No data was lost, everything is functioning as normal.
I’m going surfing! Hope everyone gets some today

@andrew - thanks so much for setting up this site, and even nailing the color scheme!
My password manager messed up and didn’t save the pw I originally generated for this account, so at some point I’ll have to reset it. Right now when I try the pw reset with my username or email I get a gateway time-out error similar to paipodude’s screenshot. I’ll try again tomorrow, just wanted to flag it here in case it’s related to the server issue.
