Chaz the person is trying as hard as he can to get Chaz the forum back to normal as quickly as possible.
Things were FUBAR'd like whoa thanks to the former owner leaving everything to essentially rot and decay for over a year. All those spammers you guys saw and were great about reporting to us? Well, those were just the ones that made it through. You never saw the legions we got to as they were registering. But all that spam did crazy things that are just now being attended to.
So please, have patience.
