Forums Back Up!
Our forums are back online thanks to the hard work of Scuzzy and the rest of our team! We're glad to be back.
We still have a few remaining issues. First and foremost, we regret to say that our password database is effectively broke beyond repair. As such, everyone - regular users, betas, and devs - have to reset their passwords. If you go to our forum you will see further instructions at the top of the page related to this issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. Secondly, you may notice that practically all of our staff is listed as "Retired FF Staff". Please be assured that everyone on the team has not just gotten up and left. This is a temporary solution as the fine people in charge confirm the identity of each of our devs one by one and reauthorize them for developer status. A general message to the community: we are accepting beta applications. Keep an eye on the forums and see if anything pops up related to that. Past testers are welcome to reapply as well. Well that's it guys! Thanks for sticking around during this tough time. We appreciate the support of the community and we're getting our butts back to work on all things Fortress!

Oh, and a special thanks goes out to Rawh for interrupting my episode of Deep Space Nine and letting me know that the forums are back up!

An unarmed American cargo ship crew managed to retake control of their hijacked ship from armed pirates faster than it took the FF staff to get the forums back up.

There is an index.html file in the forum root. This is over riding the forums index.php file.
Someone needs to log into the server with an FTP client and delete the hostmonster index.html file. |

Squeek's right... Clear the cache... Wipe them out. All of them.

I wanted to extend a personal thanks to Scuzzy. He was busting his ass getting everything up and running again.
I'm not going to go into the details of what exactly went on behind the scenes, but things took no longer than they had to.
