Not sure, but I think five-eight already has a forum.

EDIT:  Never mind.  I didn't realize their forum was down and this was an attempt to get info.  Carry on.

What happened?

I gotta admit, despite my initial reservations about the place, I went over there during my last ban and stayed as I was starting to enjoy the forums a lot more than I had before. And now it's gone.

When's it coming back?

I don't know how long it takes for admins to undo the damage in a case like this, but I would venture a downtime of at least a week.

What "damage?"

I was asleep, and am completely oblivious to what happened.

5/8 didn't get hacked. Thal took it down for personal reasons. I won't discuss them in public.

Damn, I assumed the site just got hacked.  I am completely oblivious to any of the politics over there, so I haven't got a clue.

EDIT: My reading comprehension is poor.  I guess everybody didn't see this coming.  I don't even know who Thal is, or that he owned the site.

Thal is the main one responsible for randomly changing dtf.com to five eight, right? So, yeah, no one should be surprised.

But it is disappointing.

What's IRC?

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing.

Who's Zorbo?  I feel like I remember him.  I didn't really learn usernames on 5/8, because the avatars were bigger and I couldn't be bothered.

Dude, seriously.  I remember his posts about it, where he was acting like he was in tune with the will of Jesus Christ himself.  For some reason he never really explained, he knew he had to switch to a more music oriented board because the Dream Theater Forums designation was holding it back.

Now look where the two boards are.

Zorbo has the sloth sig.  He's a British Australian dude.

So someone said something (extremely) dickish, as a joke, out of anger, or just generally lacking forethought. Said it away form the forum, but on an IRC channel related to the forum. And so now the forum is closed.

Well that makes perfect sense.

If anyone has anything to be bitter about in regards to 5/8, it's me, and if I can be welcoming there is no reason you should be so negative about it.

I've visited there a few times myself, seems like an alright place. Lots of discussion about bands I like, at least.

And why doesn't DTF have an IRC? We have the Facebook group, yeah, but it'd be cool. Anyways, glad to hear it's back.

What's so lol about it? It's basically a short story of what happened. In any case that's not the purpose of this thread.
