The Status of phpbb3now

If you have a forum hosted by them you cannot do any posting of messages etc - its a complete disaster.

Symptoms are, when you post something you are redirected to the thread, but post does not go through.
This sounds like a problem with clustering and it started about two-three days ago.

It was volunteer-run, so when the hosts stopped replying to our admin's emails, he shut it down. Presumably that opened up the forum name to be re-created by some cheeky buggars! phpbb3now obviously didn't notice so the Support Forum link on their homepage goes to that little forum.

Anyway, I'd be very surprised if it had anything to do with the whole posting problem. Right now I'm panicked because one member of the support team here reckons that phpbb3now is closing as the result of a DDOS attack, but I'm hoping that it was instead just incompetence like the posters above say, and will fingers cross be fixed shortly.
