As of this week phpbbnow.com forums can have their own domain name. This way, if your forum currently is http://yourforum.phpbbnow.com it can become http://www.yourforum.com
After we set your forum up to use a domain, it will accessible both through the new domain and the current phpbbnow.com subdomain. Of course no changes or loss of data are necessasry when activating the new domain. And best of all, this service comes absolutely free.
All you need is a domain name which has to be previously registered at any authorised ICAN or country registrar. Both international domains, like .com or .org, or country domains, like .us or .co.uk are valid. When you have a domain name, please submit a ticket at http://support.phpbbnow.com with a request for your domain to be setup for your forum.

Yesterday, at about 7.30PM EST we were victims of a DoS attack and forums have been down for several hours.
Currently we are investigating the source of the DoS attack and whether a specific forum was targeted. Also we are enabling countermeasures in orther to ensure our services keep online during future similar attacks.
For those of you who do not know what a DoS attack is, here is a link to the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack
We apologise for the downtime.

This morning all blogs have been updated to Wordpress 1.3
This new major Wordpress version includes new functions like the tag cloud. Some of the current themes may not be ready for such new functions, therefor we will be updating them shortly.
