We will be doing a massive upgrade of our forums starting Friday, March 27th, 2009 @ 9:00pm EST. We anticipate the upgrade will take 3-5 hours. During this time, the forums will be unavailable to users. If you attempt to view the forums you will either see an error that the forums are currently unavailable, or in the worst case will see a 404 Site Not Found error.

Prior to Friday, we will be doing some major pruning of the forums. We ask that you please work with us while this is completed. Please refrain from double posts, single line posts, and off-topic posts in order to help us keep the forums clean prior to the upgrade.

We have never done an upgrade of this size before, so while we will attempt to keep all posts and users in the system, some errors may occur. We suggest that you make sure to save any threads you want to keep in case they are lost.

There is also a known issue with this upgrade that not all user passwords can be properly transferred. If you attempt to log in after the upgrade is complete and have password errors (such as being told that the password entered in incorrect), please use the 'forgot password' option to set a new password.

If you have any questions about this upgrade, please feel free to PM me.
