Hey guys,
Glad to see you're all very much in love with the site. The reason it was down was my vBulletin license expired a month ago, and I never checked the email address they had on file. So Jelsoft (the owners of vBulletin) reported our site to my hosting company, and filed a formal
D.M.C.A. complaint against me because I was using their copyrighted product without their permission. So the hosting company was forced to delete the database and hold it hostage, until I renewed the license.
So just like a lot of things in life, if you throw a little money at it, the problem goes away. Which was the solution in this particular case. Problem solved, site's back up. Enjoy.
