I agree, it's pretty annoying. I think it's still an improvement from their error pages and FTP indexes that they had for three weeks prior, but still, "upgrading" doesn't give any acceptable explanation for a full week of downtime.
The problem is that they are a real forum host, and real people are trying to make successful forums. Makestation had a one day outage recently due to a host issue, and it took a few days for activity to really recover. If one day can harm activity, three weeks definitely will. That kind of thing will kill any forum easily. All I can say is that hopefully this "new server" they are working on pays off. Either way I definitely won't be trusting them any time soon.
