I'm sure that Ismenio won't mind me posting this email I received from him this morning.

Hi Bryan,

Hope this are well with you and your family! Thanks for the notice about the forum.
I'll contact the Boardnation support on that. Do you know for long it's been down?
Sadly, I haven't really had much time for the site and the forum lately but I have no intention on pulling the plug on it.
Worst case scenario I can setup a new one with a better server. We have had issues with Boardnation over the years but usually they correct it in due time.

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted!

 Best regards,

Ismenio

i hate to be a nit picker here but...

it does seem to be a bit macabre that Chesscomputers.org is still listing someone as a forum moderator ..who passed away about a year ago

:( Regards
Steve

Looks like the site is down yet again
has been for several days now
if and when the site ever does comes back up..i am curious to see if they have finally removed the name of one of the listed moderators who has been deceased now for well over a year
seeing his name still listed as an active moderator does give the site a bit of a

Bizarre Atmosphere Regards
