So I tried the german hen long site and got this:
Das Forum befindet sich zur Zeit aus folgenden Gründen im Wartungsmodus:

Moin Mitglieder,
mache gerade eine Datenbanksicherung, es kann einige Stunden dauern.

Now I struggled for a long time in German I class back in 1961, but my German is limited to pickup lines and orders for Schnapps. Could someone explain what's going on?

Click on the blue letters and it should bring you to the site. I tried from here (work) but the server is having problems getting to ALOT of sites.

I have personally "Given up" on that site.....to much hassle for me(dont speak German)

Something about the forums being down for maintenance and site security I think...

The old HL forum is still there. The new one was having problems with the server and is being found a new home. Should be up again, soon.
