It's actually not totally disabled. I just removed the integration with the forum while we sort this thing out.
Chat can still be accessed but you won't see who's in chat from the forums. I think your logins should still work ok. With the integration your TOTV login translates to the chat room so you don't have to have two different accounts. Everyone is free to give it a go.

Pray for a speedy recovery.
