Recent server down time & planned maintenance (this Friday, Feb. 7)
 

1) We've been having some issues in the last week or so: some members may have noticed the site wasn't responding or responding extremely slowly between 4:00 AM - 6:30 AM EST on some days.

That problem is now fixed.

2) We have planned maintenance coming up on Friday from approx. 10 PM to 2:00 AM (EST) Saturday. The server will be offline during this time.

Just wanted to let you know in advance so you don't go into withdrawal. Get your forum hit early!

Yes I noticed those outages.

Shoulda poked me! I'm not usually awake at those hours. And it slipped past our server admin.

I guess so. I just kept thinking "tomorrow it won't do that".

I also noticed problems. Eventually, the computer would tell me something like "the website took too long to respond" or something else like that. All the other web sites I tried worked fine...

Thanks for working on the problem.

Bump! Countdown's on: ~20 minutes to lights off. Server guy says it should take about 2 hours.
