So far it only has the ugly standard skin, I’ll work on the looks of the board in a little bit – the most important thing is there and I hope you all like it.

It’s been reported by other people before but there is no fix in sight.
So I’ll have to restore the last database backup, then install a slightly older board version and from that one it should be possible to update to the newest. Sorry about that bit of extra downtime.

Rest assured, I’m working on getting the board backup and running asap (might take until the morning).

Cedric apparently doesn’t consider himself to still be a part of TMV (at least for the time being – one can only hope that’s about to change at some point in the future; time heals all wounds, right?).

Thanks to dmac27 for bringing this to our attention first. I guess that explains why there wasn’t much to blog about lately.
The info is taken from http://bit.ly/PR7imL

Puerto Rican guitarist from the nu-prog rockers The Mars Volta, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, has confirmed that the 6-part group have officially entered in a hiatus, stating that he does not know whether or not the group will reunite, but that it is not something to worry the mind. “I don’t know [if the band will reunite], and I’m not insecure enough to have to ask myself that. It’s like, we’ve done that for ten years, eleven years. Now we’re all doing different things, and everything that we’re doing informs how we express ourselves, and so if that happens then it happens and if it doesn’t it doesn’t.” The spastic guitarist has also confirmed a brand new project along side the drummer from the aforementioned group, Deantoni Parks, titled “Bosnian Rainbows”, from which an album is expected to be released next year. In addition to that, charismatic lead vocalist, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, is currently working on a solo project, which is also expected to be released next year.

The media section should be working as the day goes on.

EDIT: DNS already updated. Now it’s just a matter of time until your ISP points to the new IP.

It should be back up again on Monday.
This is necessary since we’re moving to a new machine (otherwise we’d lose posts made during/after backup). Thanks for understanding.
