Because of the hard work from andcarne and his brother David, the Forums are now back. All of the deleted users have been restored, though there are a few glitches in the system; all of their email addresses are just plain wrong. If you email me about it, I'll fix it so that you can recover your account.
Also, all deleted accounts lost all their PMs and user data (signature, preferences); that's a small loss, though, when you consider the fact that you at least have all your posts. :)
Another glitch that we'll need to get through is the complete and total lack of proper permissions for certain boards. Those of you missing your mod spots should mention as much in your emails.
Edit: If you're having trouble logging in, delete your old cookies for the Forums. That should clear up any issues.
