Dear friends,
After many hours of struggle, we can finally reopen this forum. We've been attacked by one or more hackers at least 3 times over the last 36 hours - they somehow got control of the bulk mail function and sent out fake e-mail messages containing a link to a dangerous Trojan virus. If you have received one of those messages, please DO NOT CLICK the link. If you have done that, you can get rid of that virus with an up-to-date antivirus software.

The hack attack caused inconveniences to some of our users, and we opted for the safest option to keep those hackers away: buying an upgrade for the Forum management software, with the latest anti-hack measures. It's been a $185,00 bill, but we believe your security is paramount.

As you can see, the graphics aren't 100% ready yet, but we believe it's important to go back online and let you, our users, enjoy this open space.

Again, please accept our apologies.

Paola & Diego

We noted that for some unknown reason, reply to any message was disabled by default. We corrected it - and please let us know if you find any other problem with the new revision of the Forum software.

Thanks for your patience!
