The members who can't log in yet have a thread on BYC that they can go on. I will post the link here.

BYHers: Lets chat here while BYH is down! TEGers and SSers too!

@Baymule gave me a great idea last night. We can make a thread here on BYC to host all the people who can’t get into their regular sister forums. I was hoping by morning it wouldn’t be needed anymore, but I’m still getting the “forbidden” message when I checked BYH and TEG. This will be fun...

Thanks everyone for your patience!

We were updating the security on the servers to keep the bad guys out, and unfortunately some legit peeps were blocked in the process.

It's a bit of a cat/mouse game with bad-actors on the internet. We try to stay a step ahead and keep them out while letting all the good peeps through... it's not always easy since the bad guys are always getting better and better at pretending to be good-guys.

We'll keep doing all we can to keep the sites accessible AND safe!

That's great news. At least people can go to BYC and ask for assistance while BYH is temporarily unavailable. Hopefully you can get it secured without locking us out again..
Thanks Rob..

I am so "electronically challenged"..... so anything you do is way above my "pay grade". Thank you for doing what you do in trying to keep the site safe.
