Something really bizarre happened to the forum configuration file. So the forums are back, and you may post to your heart’s delight.

phpBB : Critical Error
Could not query config information

The forums have had this problem before. What it means is that the forum has exceeded the amount of processes it can perform in [...]

The Eva Monkey Forums have been down since February 21, for a total of 129 days. I wish it weren’t that long, but that’s just kind of how life went for me and this site. But the forums are back, and I invite you all back to the board. Get posting!

I had been planning a fresh install of the newest version of phpbb in hopes of alleviating or phasing out [...]

I don’t like to ban people from the forums. I generally let people do what they want within reason. I don’t make people use kindergarten acceptable language, and I generally let people be themselves. It has worked fairly well so far, aside from a few isolated instances which have been dealt with [...]
