Like the title says. www.pcenginefx.com forums just says this now:

"11/13/11 - Sorry everyone, but the forums are down for the foreseeable future. Don't know when they will be back up "

Anyone know what happened? I hope it gets fixed. Even though I go hot and cold with my Turbo/PCE stuff it was always nice to know there was that nice helpful community of fans there.

PCEFX suffered an attack similar to the attacks that SEGA-16 suffered earlier this year. The host pulled the plug on the forum side of things since the attack happened by exploiting a security hole on that side of things. The host is willing to continue hosting the site, but has demanded a restructuring

As the above quote says it suffered an attack and is down. Unfortunately no one knows when or even if its coming back. It all depends on if the sites owner decides he wants to take the time to overhaul the entire site to make the host happy. So if it ever comes back its going to be a long time until it happens. In the mean time, a new hopefully temporary forum has been made and can be found here. http://pcengine.free....org/index.php. A good number of the active members have found their way there so this new forum is just about as active as the old. Hopefully anybody on here who hasn't found the site yet will see this post and joins us.

Thanks A_Locomotive! I was beginning to wonder about the PCEFX forums myself.

No worries. I've actually been meaning to make a post about the new forum to let people know, but it slipped my mind.
