    Down for maintenance, should be up and running tomorrow morning.

    Back up!


    Been wanting to do this for quite a while, and I think now's a pretty good time. People have been asking me to and the community is growing.

    I am really impressed with the forum software I'm using. It has tons of awesome features.

    There's dedicated sections for balance mods, and clans can have their own private sub forums. (If you're a clan leader and want your own private sub forum, message me and we'll talk!)

    Heh. There wasn't much to it at this point. Simply boot up a server and install the forum software.

    Now completely re-skinning the forums so they match the style of the main site... that's going to be the challenge...

    Kind of unrelated but can we get a search function for videos? Going through the seemingly endless and numberless pages of videos isn't exactly ideal...

    Other than that, I'm pretty excited about what you've already done so far with PAMatches and what you can do in the future!

    The subforums for balance mods are a very nice touch. Joined.

    Not sure if it is an early build or final version, but it looks too cheap for usage for me. :p

    It has a lot more features and awesomeness than the Uber forums.

    But as I've stated, I am going to theme the while thing, but that's going to be an extensive endeavor.

    There's no link on PAMatches and the site's down for me; is there maintenance or something or are the problems on my end?

    Yeah.

    The short of the situation, the entire forum got corrupted because I screwed up the instal.

    Yay!

    I've booted up a new server and have a clean instal of the forums. Gotta reconfigure it and wait for DNS propagation. It should be up and running tomorrow morning.

    I'm really sorry guys. It's a bumpy launch process, but it's running good now.

    Sorry, guys, but this isn't exactly Planetary Annihilation talk.
