The entire moderator team was disposed by an evil SiteAdmin, General McGrieveous (Private as of today) who threatened and tried to intimidate mods and members of the forum with legal action and wanted to turn this board into a horrible machine the size of a planet to threaten the Galaxy with.
Probably one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen on the internet (and I've been around for a while): a really intelligent, helpful and funny SiteAdmin puts a lot of work into this forum and goes out of his way to further his ideas of what programming is all about like everyone else. Suddenly, something breaks and he starts a coup d'etat ( story see: http://forums.devnetwork2.net/viewtopic.php?t=68 - and read the blogs ). This process spanned about three years. Sad, really.
After a very involved weekend, PHPDN is back. Thanks to everyone who emailed/pmed in support, spammed Jason's inbox
Thanks for all the support.
It's good to be back
