I get the following when visiting http://backyardmetalcasting.com/forums/

"phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database"

Is this the beginning of the end?

haha, yeah, i thought maybe lio just went and pulled the plug, but yeah, it craps out every so often, and will come back up later on. If not, we have some new digs anyway!

If you look at the main site, the header message says that he has started the move process. He also says the whole thing is supposed to be moved, so older threads should be available.

There is nothing stopping us turning this place into a great forum, just like we had over there. :D
After all it is the people that make it or break it. :P

Yeah let's stick with this one. I'm already getting sick and tired of going back and forth between these two forums. Let's stick to one place, shall we :roll:

Sounds good to me :) I just had another look at BYMC and it is still down :| I left it a few years ago for the same thing... it took me a while to come back. :(

Wouldn't it be a big surprise to Lio when he finally gets the new forum set up and no one is on it because they all migrated to this forum. :roll:
