try making a new username - i know they periodically go through and zap all the inactive ones to prevent the login server getting too clogged (they get LOTS of people join then make between 0 and 10 posts before never coming back)
perhaps mine wont work any more either as ive been on a quite extensive porka hiatus

(simply haven't the time, even coming on here has been patchy the last couple weeks)

Taking a look into this,
www.porka.net is unresolvable. Doesn't exist atall on the nameservers it's supposed to, however currently those nameservers aren't configured correctly, and have flaked out once or twice over the last few hours.
Forcing a read with a host header of
www.porka.net on the IP that
www.porka.net used to resolve to comes up with a generic homepage, so either somethings screwed with their webservers, or they've removed the porka site.
Both of the things above happened last time they change of hosting company as it wasn't done quite as well as it could have been.
So, either they're moving again, or the hosting company is currently a little screwed. I'm leaning towards the latter as the DNS configuration is currently quite screwy, unless that's how it's always been and they're completely incompetant.
