As you may or may not be aware, we're upgrading the forums! And I accidentally deleted something that is non-essential but still had lots of legacy references to it, to do with moderating. (Originally there was a single "Moderator" permission, later we moved to finer-grained board-by-board permissions).

Anyway, you can preview them at:

http://www.earthempires.com/forum, keeping in mind that peripheral functions don't work, though browsing & posting (& moderating) the actual boards themselves work! :)

Thanks again for your understanding,
