Downtime

Hello.

It seems that we have outgrown our current hosting solution, and its only pre-season. So, we are forced to upgrade again. We have purchased our own Virtual Private Server, through Ventures Online, and are getting moved over to it on Friday, November 29, at 7AM MDT.

So -- the site will be turned off on Thursday night, so I can do a 100% full backup, without worrying about new data being added [forums, images, white papers, etc].

The site should be back up on Friday afternoon. Give it until Monday, for DNS changes, etc. I hope you regulars can find something to do with your free time j/k

Anyway -- What does this mean for the site in the future?
1) We don't share with 500+ sites, as we do now.
2) We have 100% full control over our server.
3) We have more harddrive space.
and much more

So, to recap:
Thursday, approx 10PM EST - Site goes offline until Friday afternoon; Monday, at the latest, depending on your DNS servers.

-Brandon
