New server ordered

[Schweddy]

All,

Just keeping you up to date...

The new server has been ordered and is currently physically being installed. Within the next 24 hours we will turn off the forums and begin the process of transferring over. You should simply see a notice that the forums are in maintenance mode.

The goal is by Monday morning the switch over is complete. We are also hoping it was transparent less the changes needed to make the forum run on the new server.

Until then, you -could- see some errors or strange colors. Don't conclude the worse, we are simply moving servers. You can however expect some small changes like the gallery and resources systems removed.
