Attention Spammers
A. - I already despise you for the extra work that you cause, as it takes away from the time I can spend providing support to actual human beings.
B. - I am relentless, and well schooled. Consider me to be a pit bull with an attitude problem - I like the way you taste.
C. - We report your IP's, so please keep joining. I know how to click 'Delete Member' quite well by now...
Good Luck

Unreliable SourceForge Hosting - New Host Coming
Since the YaBB project was moved to SourceForge hosting over the summer of 2010, the community forum has been extremely unreliable. This is not an issue with the YaBB software, but rather the poor hosting provided by SourceForge.
We have come to yet another long outage period at the community, and SourceForge support has yet to report any issues or solutions after almost 6 days of an outage and nearly 5 days with a support ticket (with no responses). These issues are primarily due to their use of only NFS file locking, and what appears to be a complete removal of all file locking abilities in this past week, which is not conducive to a production environment of any kind. Their Perl server also appears to be very sluggish.
That being said, we will be taking a turn towards the future of YaBB. A step that hopefully takes us in the right direction towards the glory that YaBB once had. We will be moving to a new web host within the next week so the community forum can once again be relied upon at all times and with the speed we know YaBB has.
We hope you will all be patient with the project and return when the site is back on the new host. This should remind everyone of the power the YaBB community has surviving over these 11 years and bring new development life in.

NOTICE: YaBB Project Site Moving to New Host
I am pleased to announce that the YaBB project website and community forum are moving to a new web hosting provider. The exact timing is not yet set, and the transition will depend on DNS server transitioning. The process will likely begin in the next 24 to 36 hours. After the process begins, it could take 24-72 hours for you to see the site on the new server.
Please be patient with us as we make this major change. We hope you will see a major speed improvement with the community forum.
In the meantime, we will leave the community forum open. Once the transition has begun, we will put this forum in maintenance mode. There will be a notice on the forum at its new hosting location so you can identify when you have been directed to it.
