For the time being, it seems safe to assume that the server situation for the whole site will be unstable and subject to sudden changes, so posting and page-loading speeds may vary drastically from time to time, attachment links may randomly break and reappear, etc.
I apologize for not giving the forum some advance warning, but we had been assured that the new home page would just be an addition that wouldn't affect the other sections of the site, and we weren't kept informed of the schedule for the changes.
The admins are focused on tuning the new home page interface and fixing problems with logins and stuff, so the Forum, Addventure, and other affected sections are secondary concerns at the moment. Rest assured that your complaints are being heard, but the tech staff is small, so this will take some time.
