DUDE! Hello Mineverse, We have some bad news but we have no other choice but to continue with it. Mojang has stepped in and blacklisted the server with no warning. We haven't heard from them in nearly 9 months and they never gave us any warning/notification before they blacklisted us. Due to this, some in-game perks and features may have been tweaked so we can get off the blacklist. As of 12/21/16, kits will be removed from all servers but OP PvP and KitPvP until we figure something out. Over the next few weeks or so, we will be working on a new system to bring in new perks to replace the old perks that violate the EULA (kits, feed, heal, etc). I understand that many will be upset but at this point, we have no choice but to fully comply with the EULA to prevent Mineverse from being blacklisted now and in the future. On the positive side, the Christmas sale is live from now thru the 26th of December. All upgrades and ranks will be 50% off during this time frame. As requested by many, Prison and OP Prison will be reset and released soon. Thank you everyone for understanding and we will keep you updated as this progresses. You can still connect to the server as normal. (Mineverse.com). MINEVERSE GOT BLACKLISTED!
The in-game server isn't a problem, Cyp and Crew are in contact with Mojang (well, when they reply) and are making the server EULA compliant. But, as for your question, the forums sometimes gets flooded with guests so it lags/doesn't work. Mineverse forums should be fine as of right now, though.
