MSPA forums still down, BUT.
Everyone is getting desperate since the weekend-long maintenance turned into a week-long maintenance (and will possibly even lose the "week" part soon).
During this time, the "Coming back Sunday night" idle message kept disappearing and reappearing, regularly replaced by an error 404.
Still, there is hope. Yesterday, for example, the forums briefly appeared like this:
... Maybe it was just my browser glitching and loading a part of the forums it had kept in its datalog.
Anyway, to every forum adventure author online, you can just keep the update thing going in the meantime, Tumblr is here to help with that!
A huge part of the MSPaint Forum Adventure network is still there, in our blogs, in our chatrooms, in our hearts.
See you soon space cowboys!
