Well, this sucks...
Just found out that around 15 hours ago, IPBFree, the host that my Resident Evil forum is, or rather was on, was suddenly shut down permanently with no warning, and my board went with it. Thousands of other forums in addition to mine met the same fate. And the IPBFree administrative team claims "legal reasons" prevent them from telling us why, which I quite frankly find no different from a car manufacturer calling you up and telling you your car is being recalled but claim they can't legally tell you why.
 I worked at that place for almost a year, making it what it was, but now all that effort down the drain.  So now I've got to gather as many of my members as I can in one place, choose a new host, and start from scratch on the "II" version of my site.*Bangs head on desk repeatedly*

That's really douche-y of them not to tell you why they shut everything down

I know nothing about this company other than that it exists and they run this pretty sweet site which I find very useful. http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Wow, this situation is getting deep. Major news outlets are reporting about this shutdown and are citing "links to al Qaeda" and "terrorist resources" are the cause.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10692501 http://news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-20...?tag=cnetRiver Even the IPBFree Wikipedia page has been deleted!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPBFree This in particular has me puzzled. Quote:

Something similar happened over a year ago to imfdb, dark days, but we were able to recover a lot via google cache.
I've been using unixy.net managed hosting since then and have received incredible service, I'm very happy with them.
