Due to a Versehost hardware failure, Arenafan has been offline since the Monday holiday. As a result, Fantasy and Pickem games will not be active for week seven, but will hopefully resume as normal for week eight. In addition, registered users who signed up during the month of May will be unable to access their accounts until after June 2nd. aflfans.com email accounts will not work until sometime next week.
All stats from Week 3 - present, including transactions and new player bios, are temporarily unavailable.
The following sections of Arenafan are closed until after June 2nd:
New User Signups
Fantasy
Pick’em
Message Boards
Arena Football Mailing Lists
Power Poll
When Arenafan’s web hosting service, Versehost, suffered a hardware failure on Monday, Arenafan and a number of other websites and webhosts experienced a complete blackout. Email services, staff access, and public access were completely lost. This included the Arenafan database, web pages, mailing lists, and email forwarding.
