Thanks for the suggestion there, Kev. I have good news and bad news. You may be able to tell that the board is semi-up right now. The thing is our stalwart hosting provider blames me for the break down. Says our board got too big for our britches as they say. So here's is what happened. I got the board running and they pruned the living be-jeezus out of it. No more post exist older than 30 days .... The part that sucks is for many of the past 30 days no one could post to the board so many sections are completely wiped out clean. NO RECOVERY OPTIONS POSSIBLE. And to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future I have to get the board updated to the latest version and patched for security. This will take a while as I am not able to work on it at work and my family life is VERY busy. End of story is; board running, board stripped. Board will be alive and such in a few more days (look at the end of the weekend).

I don't know why I didn't think of suggesting it sooner, but would anyone mind using the
old ezboard in the meantime? Its original purpose was as a temporary solution, anyway. There are a few downsides, such as the ads and the fact that the newer users would have to register again, but at least it looks like there hasn't been any spam since we've stopped using it.

Message board still down. Lots of suggestions on moving to other established boards or other free board providers. No decision from the Big Idiot as of yet.
Here's something though from PMerton, you remember him right?
On Tuesday night, January 30th, 2007, a remarkable event occurred as we celebrated the 5th year anniversary show for Mert's Line is it Anyway? After 5 years, it was great to see that the show still had fans. The anniversary show was a hit! Everyone there enjoyed it and was happy to see the #idiotsite was still alive and well.
So I asked around.
Everyone wanted more. So be it:
"Mert's Line Is It Anyway?" is now officially OFF hiatus! Catch new episodes of MLiiA? every Tuesday night at 8pmET (7pmCT, 6pmMT, 5pmPT), only at #idiotsite (irc.irchat.tv, port 6667; or Java chat at idiotsite.com/chat). Hope to see you there.
PS: If you already recieved this announcement through Instant Messenger, my apologies.
