Planned Downtime - UPDATE: Back Online!

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Planned Downtime - UPDATE: Back Online!

Post by Scott »

I will be upgrading the server over the weekend up until Monday evening. You should expect that the site will be offline for a few hours while I do this. It may also be offline longer while the DNS updates.

Okay, we are back online now! :)

It was this Monday that I was talking about. However, several various complications had delayed the whole thing both when the downtime started and how long it lasted. However, I have finished upgrading the server. This should ultimately lead to the forum performing at higher speeds and with more reliability.

It's likely that there may be still be some bugs resulting from the changes. If you notice any kind of error however small, let me know; it helps me identify problems and implement proper solutions.

Glad we're back up and running too!!
