We will be upgrading our database server this Thursday (6th September 07). We expect this exercise to take anywhere between 2 to 5 hours.

The forums will be taken offline from 1030pm to 12am (and probably be inaccessible up till 5am depending on any complications that might happen during the transfer).

The new database server should be able to cope with the peak hour load that has been causing the recent increase in "server busy" messages.

The new server doesn't seem to be coping very well. We're busy trying to figure out why it randomly puts itself to sleep!

We'll continue to monitor and hopefully everything is ok.
