it was being a little slow earlier, but for me its usually loading faster than before

It's got way too much downtime.

Backuped data is still probably being transferring or something, give it today and tomorrow and then judge it.

i was crying the whole time
This. I was literally checking every few minutes. It was so scary :(

Oh god, its finally back up.

Its over. Its done. Finally i can return to my lair of people i like.

The forums went down for me at the same time as everyone else, but they didn't come back until five minutes ago.

I kept getting a "can not connect to server" error.

i was all "badspot banned me!!!!!!??????"

and then i was like "oh duh lol"
same here t'ill i saw baddies tweet

sorry for bumping.

I have only recently found a new feature/change/whatever:

The avatar format has been changed, maybe due to Badspot updating the SMF software.
Not really that big of a deal, but might be useful for those people that like to block avatars etc.

old format was http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=[attachment number];type=avatar

new is http://forum.blockland.us/avatarUpload/avatar_[profile number].[something like png, gif or jpg]

For example, Badspot's is http://forum.blockland.us/avatarUpload/avatar_2.gif
and mine is http://forum.blockland.us/avatarUpload/avatar_29015.png

EDIT: If you don't see your new avatar once you update it, empty your cache. This is a side effect with images like these because web browsers store images/pages to help make the page load faster.
You didn't see it before avatars were updated because SMF stored avatars like an attachment, and when you decided to update it, the URL for the avatar would get changed and then the old avatar gets deleted from the server.
