Last Sunday, the database server malfunctioned.
Looking back, the fix should have been simple (custom DNS suddenly failed; this was simply an extra check to ensure that database connections aren't coming from places they're not supposed to be; the result was blocked everything). However, I failed to understand this at the time, and since I'm in the middle of family-related mess/travel, I couldn't immediately spend the time to figure this out.
Anyway, I took the opportunity to upgrade/move the server and the forum software, which delayed things a bit more.
I'm sorry for taking too long.
