We've scheduled downtime to move to a new server, and perform some maintenance. It will begin Tuesday, November 27th a 10PM EST, and should last approximately 4-6 hours. During this time the forums will be unavailable. We thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

P.S. I also modified this forum. Replies are now allowed.

Blair's an old hand at this moving and updating thing. We just like to give him grief because of the time when our Database got all corrupted somehow. I don't know all the technical details, but it was a nightmare. wacko.gif

We'll be moved, updated, and running again in no time. No one will suffer withdrawls, I promise!


*Kat points out that everyone COULD join us in the #geekstogo chat room that night to chat during the downtime yes.gif

That is a GREAT Idea Kat - Right Now, my Home Server is being reinstalled and files are being moved as we speak - Blair probably can Do the maintainence and the move about as fast as I can backup and restore a Windows machine yes.gif (That is because he is darn good at what he does wink.gif yes.gif
