    Hey everyone, it's been a while since I last posted an official announcement. :)
    I just wanted to let you all know that there will be some downtime soon, in a timespan of 3 days, and which could last up to a whole day. Why so? Well, the server we host the site on is experiencing some issues, and since the filesystem seems to be giving out random errors, I just have to format the server and install it from scratch. Don't worry, everything will be backed up (it will just take a while to reupload everything with my crappy connection!), so, as soon as the server is back online, the site should be running just fine.
    Sorry for any inconvenience this thing may cause. :(

    Regards,
    ricky92

    Okay, so everything should be over. I have made a clean install of both the operating system and the control panel we use to manage the site. I have uploaded what's strictly needed to run this site and will slowly (crappy connection, duh) upload the rest (remember the quotes database? yeah, that kind of things).
    Sorry for the delay, had some problems with an error due to mistakenly-set permissions D:

    Seems like just yesterday :p.

    The database is still down though. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong internally with it.
