What I noticed was that each game had a different board. Not just style and layout, different software, some UBB, some phpBB. And the UBB ones were version 6.3, which seems abit old, especially as this place is no 6.4.3 (or so it says at the bottom of my screen
)
At a wild stabbing guess Strategy First might think it's someone else responsibilty to put up (and maintain) a board, hence why there was no board for so long.
