Wikipediocracy is Down and Up after unanticipated update
Wikipediocracy is Down
Wikipediocracy's host changed to the latest version of PHP. Their version of phpBB was not compatible.
The forum will be down for a few days while they backup, upgrade, restore, re-add customizations and reopen.

Was the site warned about the upgrade or was it a surprise?

Well it looks like WPO is mostly back up but they picked just about the worst layout they could find. I sure hope that's just an experimental style till they get all the data loaded and patches loaded, cause god it's awful.

I think it's pretty much a placeholder until they find something they like.

That could have been merged into this discussion, which I started in the proper forum.
