Sean was kind enough to give me access to the old SanDiego website and ownership of the domain to keep the site going.
Unfortunately there is some bad news. The reason why the forums stopped working a couple months ago is because the mysql database got corrupt and was completely empty of data. Not sure why it happened but it's possible the old forums had been hacked. The original hosting provider got out of the business, so there is no way to know for sure. The last working phpBB backup was from 2009, so the past 5 years of posts are gone.

Anyway the forums are back online and have been upgraded to phpBB 3.1 release. Still working on getting some bugs worked out and some general cleanup, but it should be ready for some live testing.
I also installed Tapatalk so the forums can be easily accessed from mobile devices.
