If you tried to look at the forum yesterday afternoon, you probably didn't have any luck. That is because the server that hosts the forum was being replaced. From www.greenspun.com:

17 May 2001 - after most of a day of being out of commission, the greenspun.com free services have moved to a much better connected and more stable home. We anticipate that the recent outages should be a thing of the past, and appreciate your indulgence during this difficult time.

Sonn after I posted the message above, the entire www.greenspun.com server seemed to disappear for the rest of the day. It is back now (May 19) and we'll hope it is back for good.
