Wikipediocracy's host changed to the latest version of PHP. Their version of phpBB was not compatible.
The forum will be down for a few days while they backup, upgrade, restore, re-add customizations and reopen.

Was the site warned about the upgrade or was it a surprise?

Well it looks like WPO is mostly back up but they picked just about the worst layout they could find. I sure hope that's just an experimental style till they get all the data loaded and patches loaded, cause god it's awful.

I think it's pretty much a placeholder until they find something they like.

That could have been merged into this discussion, which I started in the proper forum.
Edit: Thanks!
