Why is the forum down? It’s down because I acci­den­tally deleted the direc­tory that the forum data­base was in… A forum data­base is where all the infor­ma­tion for the forum is stored. Posts, set­tings, etc. What’s worse is that I didn’t have a backup of the data­base (because it was a SQLite data­base), and the forum was in-operable.

What I’m doing now is set­ting up the forum up again, but tak­ing advan­tage of this time to use a MySQL data­base this time, which is more effi­cient. I am also tak­ing the time to improve the forum and fine-tune some things.
