    Update:

    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. It seems a good number of users have migrated to NEO-GEO.com and I've already passed the word along there. If anyone wants to make donations to help with the restructuring, they can be sent to pcefx@pcenginefx.com

    Ugh, this blows. I too am a recent joiner and I was starting to love it there. I hope the forums come back up soon.

    Oh bloody hell. No one should be donating a dime to Nanto. The guy had advertising on the forum as is. If he is so concerned with the cost, he should just use a free forum service or whatever. If you guys are going to flip the bill, then the control should be handed over to the people playing the money man part.
