We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

The boards been down for a while. Evidently Tha supplier Voy got nailed. Heres thier explanation.....
Recently some of our systems were taken down by the CIH (aka Chernobyl) virus. This does NOT affect Forum Owners or Users of VoyForums in any way, so there is no need to worry. However, it does mean that we have been a bit tied up with restoring data from backups, salvaging data that was not yet backed up at the time, and waiting upon new hardware - for the CIH virus is a nasty bugger that can actually render a system completely unusable even after repairing software damage to the hard drive.

Fortunately most of our systems are not running Windows, and were not affected.

We apologize for not being able to respond to your messages, but will be right on it once our techs have gotten some of our workstations back in working order.

We thank you for your patience in the interim, and expect this to take but one or two more days.

Sincerely,
Brandon

Next time Those boys better use a cyber condom.

Tight line Jim
