We are currently installing new forum software.
The new forum will be much nicer, and is already operational.

At this time we are converting, meaning that the database might be unaccessible for a while, please have some patience and all will be ok in no time.

Also it's possible that the frontpage looks a bit messy at times. Please excuse us for that, we are improving the userprofiles and all that relating to it.
We will report to all users about the changes.
