This is advance notice of some expected down time which will occur next Saturday evening, 16th August.

During this time we'll be migrating our forums onto a new server which will take about 30 minutes if all goes according to plan.  

However in addition to the migration time, as a result of being on a new server there will be a DNS change for the forums and these new DNS details will take little longer to propagate to other name servers.  Most people will see there name servers updated usually within a few hours and regain access to the forums, but it could take up to 24-48 hours in extreme cases where that ISP's name servers are not updated as rapidly as others.

So, don't panic if the forums are offline next Saturday 16th August, they'll be back as soon as the migration has completed and the DNS changes propagated to your local name server.   In the mean time, we'll be hanging out on TS and on our G+ community page which you can find here:
