Hey folks, the downtime took longer than expected, but we're back up and running again! The server and forum upgrades are now complete, and you can all get back to your regularly scheduled shitposting.

For those of you who are curious about what was upgraded exactly, I upgraded some of the system packages along with a few outdated add-ons that were long overdue for updates.
