As you will know the forums have been down alot for the last few days
, the reason you couldn't get to the forums was the database service had stopped. (And a few others) 
With a few more services not working I couldn't access the server to reboot it, so all support was done through email (I think carrier pigeon would have been quicker though).
Anyhoo, I've just been through the reports and found that it was the email service causing the problems due to me not having the propper security settings on the sendmail service.
You should all be pleased to know that SWB has sent out around 60,000 emails so far this week
Probably all SPAM though All should be fine until the next problem though
was getting withdrawl symptoms...
