You may have noticed the forums are currently offline. We're not exactly sure what happened, but due to a server problem the forums were garbled and we're currently in the process of restoring them to their former glory. This shouldn't be misinterpreted as inactivity, though. Nuclear Dawn is still being worked on as we speak and the Christmas period should see us move up a gear to take advantage of the extra hours away from work and other commitments.
All of the forum data has been retained so no threads or posts have been lost. However, one of the tables has been lost (the one that tells vBulletin which threads go in which forum). Basically, we're having to painstakingly move all of the 2,700 threads on the forums back to their rightful forum... manually! I spent two and a half hours on this yesterday and I can tell you that, other than being a pleasantly nostalgic trip down memory lane, it's not a fun task. Nevertheless we're determined to bring the forums back up as soon as possible for the good of our loyal community and fanbase.
As you can imagine this is taking some time but we plan to be back up within the next few weeks. Please bear with us during this time and if you haven't already seen it, please follow this link to watch a full preview of nd_russia by Robert Briscoe. If you like what you see, you know what to do! It'd be great to see ND listed in the 'Best Upcoming Mod' category in this year's MOTY awards, and I'm sure it'd mean a lot to the team who have put so much of their time into ND to see their efforts recognised by the gaming public. :)
Remember, only the forums have been affected. You can still find all of our released media in the screenshots section of our site (our Gallery here on the ModDB only has half of what we have to show).
Forums are back up but most public areas are viewable only, apart from General Discussion where you can post freely. This is because we're still migrating threads back to their original forums.
