Being an amateur web developer, I can offer some insight and some hope for a quick resolution.
Here is the problem:
Oftentimes websites like Lumberjocks are built using pre-existing packages called CMS ( Content Management Systems ). These are PHP frameworks that are built by online communities consisting of thousands of developers who donate their time and coding in the original spirit of programming, IE open source, or FREE software, free exchange of knowledge for the betterment of mankind.
There are very few coders in the world who could single-handedly build a CMS as complex as Lumberjocks. It is more than likely the result of a large community of developers all contributing to a common cause, so fixing the foundation, the framework that Lumberjocks is built on, will necessarily be the result of a group effort by these developers.
The other component of this is the hosting companies running server farms where websites such as this one reside.
Upgrades to server software is oftentimes driven by security issues, so if a hosting company discovers that the software that is the backbone of their company is putting their company and clients at risk, they will institute upgrades.
Frequently these upgrades "break" open source and even proprietary PHP frameworks that were built to be compatible with older server software.
When this happens, the community of thousands that built the CMS has to respond by re-coding their framework to make it compatible with upgrades at the hosting company.
This can take time, sometimes a lot more than everybody would like. I might be completely wrong about this, but my bet is that the person responsible for this website is anxiously awaiting an upgrade to the CMS that Lumberjocks is running on. When that becomes available, he or she or they will no doubt update this whole site as soon as they are able.
This can be very tricky, in that sometimes the sql database that contains all of the historical data and content of this site may need to be updated as well.
Having personally gone through several such forced upgrades, and currently facing no less than 5 forced upgrades to all of my Joomla based sites, I can tell you it's no simple thing, and the risk is significant.
This is a community, hearts minds and souls have gone into this site for years. If I were having to upgrade the PHP framework for this site, I would be, in a word, terrified.
You only get one chance, or Lumberjocks is gone.
Maybe this information will help to assuage the members a little. I have utmost confidence that a fix is on the way. It just may take some time.
So let's do what woodworkers do. Get on with the project at hand and be good to each other.
