Server problems at Delphi have resulted in allowing only intermittent access to several key pop culture industry forums including the CBIA (comic book retailer forum) and the GIN (game industry forum).  These two discussion sites, arguably the most popular retailer discussion centers in their respective fields, have been down all week, and at this point Delphi has no precise timetable for restoration of service, though it could come at any time.

Robert Scott, the moderator of the CBIA forum, contacted ICv2 and asked us to post the following the message to retailers who have been unable to access the CBIA:

'Hi guys, the site has been available intermittently but only if accessed directly.  It is a Delphi problem and they are working with their service providers to bring all affected sites back online ASAP.  Content is still intact, it appears that the problem is in the equipment that formats the content that is having problems.  You may have noticed that the CBIA, ComicsPro and others no longer exist on you're My Forums page as well.  Never fear, I'm assured that as soon as the fix is online, they will return automatically.  Unfortunately I have no ETA on the fix at this time.'
