Forums going down in the near future
« on: September 19, 2008, 07:18:58 AM »
Update:

Server migration didn't go as planned so delaying it.

---

This is an advanced notice that I'll be taking the forums down for most if not all of Sunday while I move everything over to the new server. Depending on how smoothly things go will determine how fast it comes up Sunday and/or Monday. No ETA.

You've been warned.  :D

FYI: While down, the chat will remain up since it's on an IRC server. :)

    If you don't have time to do it right
                    ...when will you have time to do it over?

        Well, I'm happy

        It probably wont end up taking too long... but, you never know.

        I hope all goes well. In worst case scenario, you loose us all and I claim my post count was actually 10,000 during restoration...
