Hiya
Just to let you know that my Web Hosting company will be moving their data to a new data centre on Friday 28 March 2008, the website and forum is likely to be down for anywhere up to 48 hours. I will be taking a backup of the forum database on Thursday to make sure that we are minimising the risk of loosing data.
It is unfortunate that I will be away at a wedding from early on Friday till sunday evening, if there are any problems I will be unable to assist during that time. By Sunday night though I should be back and able to see what has happened.

Re: Server Move
The forum database and phpBB files were backed up very thoroughly last night just in case there is a problem with the move. I am off soon but hope to see you all at the other side of the server move very shortly!

Re: Server Move
Yay, the move seems to have gone okay, thankfully the downtime was not too great.

Re: Server Move
I don't know about everyone else but I have noticed a significant improvement in the response time of the forums since the move. Yay!

Re: Server Move
Yup, don't know why but I think they were upgrading their back of house information earlier so it might have had a bit of an effect.
