You messed up on your forum URL. Be sure when you leave your forum URL you just type in your URL and then select smfforfree, smforfree2, smfforfree3, or smfforfree3.

Forums on server 1 and 2 have been going down like crazy. Not even SMF For Free himself knows what is causing it, but theres only so much he can do.

Do not put in your forum url - that is what is causing the problem. 
Put only the name of your forum.. the part before smfforfree.
Example:   if your forum is at http://test.smfforfree.com  put test in the box then use the dropdown box and choose smfforfree.com

If you are on freesmfhosting or mysmf or another service hosted by SMF for FREE
Do not use the box and dropdown - type your url in the post.

It loaded just fine for me.  But you don't have a Guest Board or at least one Board showing.  I believe that the TOS still say you are to have at least one board showing, unless something has changed that I am unaware of.

that was changed over a year ago... there is nothing in the TOS anymore that says you have to have at least one board showing
