DevNet Forums down for maintenance Nov. 16 - 18
There is a very strong likelihood that the forums will be unavailable this weekend as we migrate to a new server. We expect the outage to start at about 6:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, November 16, 2007 (though we may do it earlier or later) and last until about 9:00 PM Eastern Time on Sunday, November 18, 2007 (thought it might come back to life earlier or later).
This server move is in response to a much needed upgrade of the hardware that our forums run on. Many of you have experienced, and have even vocalized frustration and anger over, the recent poor performance of our forums. Thanks to our founder, Jason Lotito, for securing us new hosting.
The admin and mod team will begin migration shortly after the forums are brought down to make sure that the information you see just before it goes down is the same information you see just after it comes back up. We thank you for your patience while we sorted this whole mess out and thank you all for your continued use of, support for and willingness to help, our community. It is much appreciated.

It will also be rather boring, if all goes as planned.jmut wrote:Hi, great news. While at it you might write a short article on how transfer was made. What steps to transfer, problems that occured etc.
I am sure community would like to hear about moving this lovely forum....and it will be very educational too.

You probably heard the story about someone who visited their old grandmother who was in the hospital after some surgery. They asked her how she was doing and she said, "Pretty good, except I really hate the taste of the Kentucky toothpaste here!" Then the person looked over at the night stand and spotted the tube with the "KY" on it.
