Working for me.  Maybe something still cached on your end?
No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

Grah.  *stabs randomly at the admins*

Somebody tried to edit the pirate filter, and instead broke it. :blah:  This meant all forums which had the filter active (namely, most of the public forums) were inaccessible.

I wish I had known about this earlier.  More than that, I wish the culprit had stuck around long enough be sure that his changes worked...

How do you know they weren't trying to break it?

I don't think any of the admins are that malicious.  They may have wanted to change it slightly, or they may have wanted to modify it, but I doubt any of them wanted to break the forum.

And it's quite possible that it wasn't even one of the admins, that it was simply a bug.  None of the functionality was actually changed; the only thing that happened is a few asterisks were added.  This caused an error with the regexp parser.

An0n, for a day, made people think he was an admin. Then, in a freakish accident, he became an admin. Yeahhhhhh--I hear it was bad. Very, very, bad.

Actually it was the admins (mainly Goober) pretending to be an0n the entire time.

Bit late of a reply, but I meant that they wanted to break the filter, not the forum.
