Ponte built these forums for all of us two years ago. He comes by to help out on occasion. Without him, these forums would still be down. I am so happy he is still such a big part of this community. He is kind of invisible at times but he is the reason this place functions. Thank you ponte. You are a great friend. J

haha, thanks guys :)

built isn't the correct word, though. I merely installed it.

a new template (kinda like the old one, but new...heh) will be up and running "when it's done" :D

Ponte, thank you so much for fixing the site. I didn't realize how much of my meager, pitiful existance is dependant upon this site.

Nice to have my addiction back :D

good thing they didn't delete anything, do u guys keep back-ups of the forum if these things will happen again?

good work here with fixing everything and thanks again Ponte, I hope that u guys will choose another color than that green one for the new layout, kind of tired of that green one.

keep up the good work

I don't post that often I'm a definite lurker. I just wanted to say it's great to have the boards back. I check them everyday serveral times it's great to have them back so thanks Pontemonti.

Thanx Ponti. I nearly died not being able to access this site. I was in a state of depression, my life had no meaning anymore. Then you came and rescued me from such a horrific experience. I worship you. It is an honor to be a part of this family. :batman:

Oh no..."just" a hack? :p

I thought all this was about putting up the new design... :dead3:

Thank you Ponte...hmm.....it's strange...Ponte is like this gods in ancient times, where everybody was speaking about them, but nobody ever seen them..."oh, i feel he is here, but we can't see him...please talk nice about him...he is everywhere..."...

Thanks Ponte! I must say, I was a little worried on Friday. But, I don't browse the forums on the weekend as much as I do during the week. Yeah, it's kind of sad - I have more free tme to surf the net at my job...

So weird these forums went down, but now Eatpoo, our mortal enemy, is down to. Me thinks some hacker bastitches went on an art forum rampage..........whoops, I'm wrong. They're up again.
