I signed up about 7 months ago and notice I'm still logged in!

PS

I checked again, and was able to browse the forum (very slow) but when clicking on individual postings, there is an error:

QuoteHrm.
The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL.

This page is unavailable for archiving. The server returned code:

because access is forbidden

Have they attempted to put the whole site into an archive?

Seems a real shame if it dies as there is a wealth of stuff there that I find really useful.

The trouble is that me and Theo can't sign in to the PB forum. No admin to contact.

I have been able to reset my password today and log in, but there was an error message during this process and I cannot post or reply on the forum.
