i've set up some temporary forums:

if you want to sign up now, go ahead, i'm pretty sure you can convert 1.2 to 2.0 with ipb, if not then oh well i'll do it manually. they are going to be upgraded as soon as makoblue uploads ipb 2.0, then transferred to an actual domain once we buy it, which will be in about 2 or 3 weeks im hoping.
contribution is appreciated
