I’d also like to say that I’m apart of a forum Turtle is in, too.

Moderators have fixed system and discobot’s profile picture, however, the forum favicon is missing, which, from the moderators, ‘were unable to make a change’. There’s only one admin in the forum, and they’ve been inactive recently.

Weirdly, this also goes with making somebody an admin.  
I’ve been on another forum, and they’re also experiencing email-related issues too. I’ve asked an admin on that forum to make me one, and they couldn’t due to the forum’s email system not sending the admin confirmation email to their inbox.

They checked their spam folder, and nothing was there.
