By the end of december the server this forum is hosted on will be shutdown permanently. As a result im having to move it to a new home on a new server.
This move will in all likelyhood happen on the 16th, but final details are not yet in place.
As a result there will be interruption of service while the move happens, and depending on if your ISP's nameservers honours dns cache timeout values, it could take up to 48 hours for the IP change to propogate fully, during which time you will be unable to access the forum.
More information to come as the time draws close.
