They posted this on Twitter yesterday: "As we work on our new forums, please tease us with what #beer you're drinking and where. Cheers! #craftbeer"
With "new forums" it sounds like they might be installing completely new and different forum software.

I actually hit there site today and was surprised. It seems they had so many posts that they have to hire professional help. They plan on hiring two people so they can keep the site up and running.

Whether true, or not, they mentioned that they had 3.5 million hits the day they crashed. They were hiring people to handle the traffic, if what they are saying is true, the "zombies" are not coming. |

Scalable server upgrades and new forum software. The bitch is going to be porting over the threads because of the custom forum software they cobbled together.
News flash: delete some threads.

the guys that built their database and made their website (the users) have been asking that for years. i think their lack of putting much in the way of money into their website is what eventually brought about its demise. it's hard to drive a tank with a yugo engine in it.
