Unfortunately I hit a problem with the software, which is that any page with many posts takes a long time to load. You can see it on some questions on Pokebase already (I'm using the same Q&A software for the forum, but without voting etc). Unfortunately with forum threads likely to have hundreds of posts, it's simply not going to work as it is.
However, I will be making changes to the software some time in January so will try to fix this problem and the forum can go up soon after.
