We're Back?
So, the place died there for a minute. It seems to be back, for now. I'm not totally sure what caused the problem, nor am I sure why things have returned to normal. I'm going to assume that Osmose did some magic. Until he shows up and fills us in (or until whoever is responsible does so), we'll live with the thought that this is a miracle.
God/A wizard did it.

Moar Hacking
The theme files for the website were hacked in a similar way as the files a few weeks ago. They've been replaced and the whole forum has been scanned and is clean. In addition, our version of SMF should no longer be immune to the attack that caused this according to other places that had similar incidents.
The method was with a custom avatar, so for now, we're disabling custom uploaded avatars. You'll have to host your avatar offsite somewhere. Sorry. In addition, all old attachments and custom avatars will be deleted.
Remember, ImageShack or Photobucket are good places to store your avatar. Sorry for the inconvenience.

White Screen Issues Fixed (Hopefully)
So after two and a half hours of fighting, I finally pinpointed the issue with the white screen bug and have, as far as I can tell, eliminated it.
If you encounter the bug at all, post in this thread giving as many details as you can about what you were doing at the time.

Main Page Borked
Triple Update: fixed!
Updated: Main Forum Page is working again, carry on.
Double Update: The Borkpire Strikes Back!
For your convenience, here are a few links to certain boards. If anyone has more to contribute, please do. I, Archem, am far too lazy to do any more work.

Games

Tutorials
So as most of you have seen, the main forum index has been borked for some reason. I'm trying to determine the cause and fix it, but as I'm away from my normal computer I don't have some of the info I need to access the server; I'll be contacting Alex shortly to help me fix the issue.
As for the problem itself, I can only diagnose it based on the error message being given:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2179873 bytes) in /home/content/c/h/a/charashosting/html/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 494
Some people saw Subs.php and assumed it had to do with subscriptions, but this is false; Subs.php stands for "Subroutines". It's a file used by SMF as a general repository for useful functions.
The error itself is referring to a lack of memory (RAM, not harddrive) on the machine the site is hosted on. PHP sets memory limits on how much memory can be taken by a single php script. In addition, our host sets memory limits to ensure that our site doesn't clog up the entire server. The error is that viewing the main page apparently exceeds one of these memory limits. So deleting old topics will not solve the issue.
Once Alex gets back to me we should be able to figure out where this limit is being hit and either change the script or change the memory limit. Until then, the best you can do is browse around using every page but the index.
