The site will be down March 31 for most of the day. The maintenance includes a complete reinstallation of the operating system and an upgrade of vBulletin.
An estimate of the downtime will be posted sometime during next week.
About 14 hours until blackout (10 am, CET. 4 am East coast time) In the best case scenario, the forums will be back online about 6 hours later. However, 12 hours is more likely, and if the site is not back up after 24 hours, I am in trouble
22 hours, and not quite done yet. But at least the forums are back up.
Spent most of the time while the hosting company tried to connect the box to the installation media But after a lot of tries... well, they finally managed to sort it out.
Guess I will have to do some of the stuff I had planned at a later date...
Yay we're back up!
And when the site went down I was right in the middle of writing a kick @ss reply to a thread. Well off to my usual postings. Chow!
