Forums are gone forever. Sorry.

For the last 3 months i’ve had various problems with my phpbb installation, the software used to run the forums/discussions on this site -spam, hacks, config issues, upgrade problems, etc. But I’ve sorted things out – and the forums are back up.

Forums are here.

Good news: it doesn’t explode when you look at it funny.
Bad news: To post questions or replies, you have to log in.

To dodge evil waves of spam, registration has to happen. Sorry – no other way. I’ve looked for replacements to phpbb, but all the forum packages seem the same to me (or have similiar shortcomings).

If you want to post a question to Ask berkun, but don’t want to log in, just go to the painless anonymous comments form.

It still looks like it’s been hit by an ugly stick (as does this generic blog template) – but that’s next.
