    It appears that all of miata.net is having issues of some sort. I got curious and started poking around this afternoon. The web service on the server that is hosting the pointy board is not running. This usually either points to server or security problems.

    or it could be that virus that's going around.... It's taken out a couple other boards too.. Corvette forum was down for most all of last night...

    In other news... at least they have an annoucement now?

    Miata Forum is currently closed due to a hardware problem. It may be down for a couple of days while we work on it. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    We've fixed the hardware problem that caused our recent outage. Unfortunately, there was a file system corruption that occurred as a result which will take another day or two to resolve. We apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime, please check out http://www.miata.net/

    Y'know, for all of the joking we do about the pointy board, I'm glad it's there, and I'm glad it is the way it is. Compared to most of the other boards I visit (including this one ) the pointy board has a very high signal-to-noise ratio.
