I have created our own forums at
http://redeclipse.net/forum - This is being done because the freegamedev forums have been failing under the pressure of so many users, but it also gives me the opportunity to do a lot more and have finer control over forums access. There will be some overlap as we transition: please post new topics to the new forum, and feel free to copy over any posts you may have made here if you think they might be of interest in the future.
