Hey All, As you can see, we're back :) To make a long story short, the hard drive on the server that AB (and all arachnopets sites) resided on died. Our host replaced and rebuilt the hard drive and the site came back up but then there were all kinds of errors that forced us to shut the forums...

We'd like to announce that we have brought some new moderators on board. JC Lorgakor - Canadian forums Zoltan - European & Tarantula Forums As always, a list of all of our mods and Admins (and which sections they can mod) can be found here:

Hey All, I'm sure many of you are wondering what exactly it is that vBulletin 3.6.1 does other than make arachnoboards go away for almost two weeks. Well, this post is here to let you know. :D There's basically 4 Major things: PM preview in email notification: Have you ever wondered if it...

Hey All, First off, let me say we're very, very sorry for the extended downtime. Lets just say that it was a serious case of murphy's law and leave it at that. Unfortunately, the Arachnogallery and the Arachnolinks did not survive. We do however still have all the files from the...

Hey All, In the interest of keeping the Tarantula galleries organized and easily searchable, we are implementing the following rule. All pictures uploaded to the genus galleries MUST have the scientific name as the title of the picture. While we can appreciate that you love "fuzzy" or...

Hey All, Not sure how many of you noticed this, but both Frank Somma and Michael Jacobi will be making an appearance to discuss things hobby related on the VoiceAmerica internet radio show. Let them know how many of us are out there by tuning in! More information about the show can be found...

Do NOT open this PM! Unfortunately, we had a new user (RobertT) PMing people with pornographic spam. We have tried to delete all of these PMs, but some may have gotten through. The Arachnoboards' Team will NEVER title a PM in that manner. Who is on the Arachnoboards' Team can be found by...

Hey All, Some of you may have received an email from the user Daniel S through the Arachnoboards email system. Don't bother reading it, just delete it. It's someone airing personal business that has nothing to do with Arachnoboards by spamming members via the email system. This user has since...

This is a reminder to everyone that lists of your inverts and pets are not allowed in your signatures as per the rules. It appears that many new members are including these lists in their signatures and everyone needed to be reminded of the rules. Thanks for your cooperation, AB Team

Hey All, Just a heads up that some of you may not be receiving email notifications from the boards. This is due to issues with spam fighting configurations on your hosts. As we receive bouncebacks we will contact the host and try to get the blocking of our emails reversed. Sorry for any...

Hey All, Everyone MUST have a valid email address associated with their account here on Arachnoboards. If I receive a bounceback saying user unknown, or mailbox does not exist, your account will be placed into users awaiting email confirmation. You WILL lose all posting priviliges until your...

Hey All, Happy April!!!! We truly hope you enjoyed our April Fools Day joke. If you were genuinely distressed, you have our sincerest apologies. Personally, I think April Fools 2007 when we shut down because I was supposedly in ICU was going a little further than this one, but everyone is...

Hey All, Just wanted to give a heads up that we will be upgrading the forums the last weekend in July. This means that the boards will be inaccessible starting at some point on July 29th (probably early EST) and likely will be down for the weekend. We're hoping to reopen on August 1st at the...

Hey All, In case you didn't read the notice, AB will be down starting at some point after midnight EST tonight and down, probably, for at least the weekend. We hope to be back up and running on August 1st barring any problems with the upgrade. Take a good look at AB because it's going to...
