Exclamation Server Move

Hey Everyone,

The forum shut down you all have experienced was due to the initial prep work for our server move. I apologize for the temporary inconvenience, but it needed to be done in order to move the massive amount of data we have here. In the next day or so I will initiate the actual transfer which will be take place during off peak hours. The forum shut down won't be as long as the one I just did, so this should be pretty seamless for most of you.

This server move will really help speed things up here and support some of the new traffic we've been getting. It will also eliminate the forum lag we have during late night hours that many of you have experience, which can get annoying at times. Once the dust settles from the move, the forum will slowly undergo software upgrades and feature changes, as well as, forum modifications that were suggested in our feedback and suggestion section. I'll post more info about that when the time comes.

Anyways, back to the server dungeon.

Thanks

That's going in the sig! After correcting the spelling of tongue, obviously.
