After much fiddling and correcting the back-up data that would not import correctly, the forums are back up. The author of the theme has not updated it for the current version of phpBB, and some of the files that users uploaded to the forums are missing. Other than that, the forums are back to what they were when Kallokain tried to update the forums.

On the subject of what happened to the forums to begin with, Kallokain was up against worse odds than he knew. WordPress and phpBB were multiple versions out of date. The forums had data in them that were formatted in a way that would not convert correctly. It also caused problems trying to import the data. It was quite the ordeal to find all that and fix it. Also the back-up files only have incomplete copies of the files that people uploaded to the site. It’s no wonder the site crashed when he tried to update it. It would have been nothing short of miraculous if it hadn’t.

Anyway, the forums are back up. For those that want to walk down memory lane, enjoy!
