Just a quick note for you forum regulars. I will be migrating the site to a new server. The recent bout of hacks and downtime has necessitated this. Fortunately, it is a planned migration, not an emergency one, so it should be smooth and seamless.
I'm aiming for somewhere between 16:00-18:00 tomorrow (10/10/13).
The forum on this server will be shut down with a message first, then the site data will be migrated to the new server. Then the domain name delegation will be pointed to the new address. If you are on an ISP who follow the DNS rules properly, you should be pointed to the new server within minutes. If you are on an ISP who don't update their DNS properly, you could wait up to 48 hours (worst case with some ISPs like Telstra). 99% of you should not have any problems. Best case scenario, the site should be migrated and running again in less then 30 mins.
By this time tomorrow this site should be running happily on the new server and hopefully there will be a long period of reliability again.
