Hi Guys,

Sorry about the huge delay. The forums are back and running much better.

This is the last of the hardware upgrades. I have it on the best authority that Ramius is working some magic on the software. There might be some downtime to upgrade that in the near future.

Let me know if you have any problems!

    Three cheers for Alphamonkey* and his new server!

    Work sucked without forums.

    *And also anyone else who may have been or will be involved. So, umm, Ramius? Maybe also the guy who dropped it off?

    Oh thank god.

    I had been finding people bitching about the PA forums being down on Twitter and talking to them instead. This is what you forced me to do.

    Depends on how the load of users is compared to usual. Might just be that there aren't nearly as many people using them currently, right?

    But yeah, the forums are wonderfully fast again, and loading threads is smooth as silk.

    Haha, probably not. I just follow a crapload of PA-ers and watched you all whinge.
