i can't understand why they dont leave the forums open, this i find annoying to say the least and for some that have left a question, it's now going to be two days before they can get a reply.

Probably because they won't pay proper salaries to the IT guys, so they get second-rate IT guys who know how to configure Tomcat to display a site-wide webpage, but don't know how to do it for parts of a site.

I sent an email to the address they give explaining how important the forums are to their customers and please keep it up when they take the rest of the site down.  Haven't received a reply yet.
