Hey guys, just got this notice and am passing it along so as to hopefully prevent any heart attacks, strokes or other adverse reactions to the server being down. This will affect the forum, but also the websites affiliated with the forum.

We are excited to inform you that our datacenter partner is migrating servers in our Chicago location to a new state of the art data center that offers significant upgrades including significantly increased redundancy at all levels, enhanced security & increased network capacity and throughput.

The server is scheduled to be migrated during the following window:

Start: Friday, December 12, 2014 10:00PM CST
End: Saturday, December 13, 2014 02:00AM CST

During this time frame, your server will need to be taken offline for up to four (4) hours. Our datacenter team has conducted substantial planning and preparation to keep this downtime to a minimum and will do everything they can to minimize migration time.
