Over the holidays, we had some server hardware issues that resulted in a large number of the static files (images and such) used by the gunsoficarus.com website and this forum being lost.
As of this writing, I believe I've restored all the basic functionality of the forum. However, any images/avatars you uploaded directly to the forum (as opposed to linking on another hosting service) are most likely lost forever.
If you experience any other lingering issues or inconsistencies, please let me know here.
