Gonna give a heads up about the upcoming weeks.
My holiday starts at the first of August and will last till the 20th of August.
What can you expect during that period:
If your posts are under moderation: it will take longer to get them approved.
If you report posts: they will take longer to get looked at.
If you ask me direct questions: takes time, still my holiday.
I will do my best to keep it running as good as I can but I can't promise anything.
For those of you that use BukkitDev regularly, you know that we recently migrated CurseForge and all associated sites to AWS. The Bukkit Forums are next on our list of sites we’re moving over to AWS and we will be starting on January 31st, 2018 at approximately 9:00am PST.
We expect this process to be fairly quick, and have a downtime window of between 2 and 4 hours. As always we’re hoping to complete sooner rather than later, but we like to make sure we have plenty of time in case anything goes sideways.

We’ve determined that a bad actor was able to compromise an administrator’s account. Using that account, they were able to edit templates and deface the front page of the site. As soon as we found out, we took immediate action to protect you, our users, and took the site offline.
As a precaution, we’re taking additional measures to help prevent this type of defacement in the future. This includes, but is not limited to, resetting moderator and administrator account’s passwords.
Thank you for your patience as we’ve worked through this today. Please reach out if you have any additional concerns.
