Many members will be aware that the forum experienced a service interruption last night of about three and a half hours. The reason for this, without bothering with the technical details, is that the number of people online here suddenly zoomed to almost 800 and the site in it's present hosting couldn't cope.
I'm sure most members hate service interruptions as much as Admin does and accordinly the site is to be moved to a nice new home where it will be able to cope with 800 or more users quite easily and we therefore won't experience these annoying service interruptions (that's going to cost me, isn't it? :rolleyes
That's the good news, that the forum's future will be secure in a nice new home with room to grow. The bad news is that moving the site is going to mean a further service interuption whilst the move takes place, but hopefully this will only be a short interruption and inconvenience will be minimal.
