Yes, this place a falling apart already. The weird -1 year freshness factor that seems to crop up every now and again on some threads is baffling. Someone else noticed their username multiple times underneath the Users online dealie-oh. Little things that disrupt the already disrupted half assed functionality of this place. I find it embarrassing (nevermind unprofessional when parts of a band's official website are breaking down like an old car tha thasn't had its regular oil changes). It seems a lot of the glitchy threads I've found are from a year ago and older. Some are completely gone.
As I mentioned in the EBW 10 thread, I went back and re-read the EBW 8/9 thread a few days ago. There's some glitched out pages which is a travesty in terms of the forum because 1.) the thread isn't that old really and 2.) because it's a fuckin legendary thread that should be preserved.
If anyone such as a friend or relative of the ever so elusive administrator is reading... This anomoly has affected old threads and the really long threads such as: Post Your Music Here, Now Playing, Buzzed Posting to name a few. It's probably affected other threads like General Bullshit Chat but I really haven't had the time to sift through all that thread let alone the countless others.
I have no idea if old caches got deleted or what, since this place appears to be on auto-pilot as it has been since a couple weeks after the "new board". What would be a sad shame is the eventual loss of all previous content spanning the history of this place. Especially considering a lot of effort was taken to keep the previous content! It's going to happen, because this place is falling apart. And what if threads from 6 months or 6 weeks prior start getting glitched out? It needs fixing and has needed fixing. It's like a freakin broken record. The admin needs to come in and fix this place... and finish what was started.

On a second note, I guess the content is not lost, as in case you perform a search, you can find the threads, they just... don't open really. But if the system finds the strings you looked for, it's gotta be stored somewhere. That's kinda obvious, I'm ashamed of not realizing this before...

Ah prochem - ever the optimist. ;)
A fresh look to the website is likely when the new album is released, but it wouldn't be wise to hold your breath for a new message board! hehe.
Has anyone else gotten an error when trying to access both the forums and the main page over the last couple of days? It seems to be infrequent and I know it's not my connection @ home because it happened to me at work the other day (not that I was, err, trying to get on the board when I should've been, err, working... or something).
