The new B5TV.COM is here. We've replaced our 16 year old software with flashy new XenForo install. Registration is open again. Password resets will work again. More info here.
XenForo upgraded

Just one little thing. I noticed that the new certificate is set to expire relatively soon, on April 17th. That seems like a really short time span for the new one. It'll likely need to be replaced before then or some of us may experience a massive B5 withdrawal again. 
This Xenforo solution is really nice.
It's good to find a modern forum solution that you host yourself rather than it being cloud-hosted on someone else's server.
The only private forum that I've seen that was comparable to this one features-wise was the Jolla Sailfish OS forum (which I learned was 3rd-party/cloud-hosted anyway).
I look after a PHPBB kind-of on behalf of a friend, although I get plenty of use out of it myself too.
It's a very mature platform. It is what it is now and future updates will probably only amount to security fixes rather than ground-breaking new features.
But it does have the benefit of being free and open-source.
I wanted to suggest putting an favicon.ico file on the server so that the forum is easier to pick out from your tabs list if you keep lots of tabs open.
