I'm just making this thread to let everybody know the forums were offline earlier because I was upgrading to the latest version of vBulletin. However, while upgrading everything went horribly wrong and I had to restore from a backup I had locally. We still have all the posts and users. The database was unaffected. If you have any questions post below and I'll answer them.

That's because I wiped the entire directory and restored form a backup. I couldn't edit permissions because I don't have access to the cpanel on Alex's server.
