On Friday, December 22nd, around 2pm Saturday, December 23rd around 9am EST (GMT-5), I will be migrating the hosting account for the forum to another server in order to perform some much needed operating system maintenance on the current server. The migration should take less than 20 minutes, but a DNS change will be needed once the account has been moved. It may take an hour or two before the DNS changes are updated on your computer. If you receive an error while accessing the forums tomorrow, please rest assured it is planned and just check back a few minutes later.

Once the current server has been reinstalled, the account will be migrated back. This will most likely occur during the first week of January.

Thanks!

Edit: Part 2
I am ready to complete part two. The original server has been reinstalled, tested, and is ready to go. The forum will be moved back January 8th around 5:00pm EST (GMT-5). Same as before, it should only take 20 minutes or so but you may need to wait for the DNS to update on your computer. You can expedite the process by running ipconfig /flushdns once the migration is complete.
 
NNOOOOOOO We're gonna be outta forum talk for a couple hours!?!?! Unacceptable downtime!! I'm gonna go into coma if I don't get my quarterly-hour updates! :p

The migration has been complicated. The forum is now back on the original server where it will remain. Please let me know if you come across any errors or issues. This is a brand new server and I double checked all of the configuration to make sure nothing was missed, but you never know... Thanks!
 
wait the website went down? *evil grin*
