Today I ordered a new server for Tortoise Forum. It won't be up and running until sometime tomorrow (Wednesday). Once the host sets up the new machine I will need to take the site down for a bit to move everything over. Our downtime should be no more than a couple hours, but I'm not sure exactly when it will begin. I will do my best to give as much notice as possible.
This move should be our last for a while. It should also directly address (and solve!) problems we've had with slow page load times and also the dreaded "Loading... Please wait" issues. As a bonus, this new machine is a little bit more affordable than our last! [That NEVER happens!]
Thank you all for your continued support!

That's good news. Unfortunately I haven't even started on Tortoise Forum yet. I'll try to push it so it's late tonight when things go down.

I took the site down last night for a bit to upgrade our adserver. Within the next 48 hours I will be moving the database and files to the new server. I'm projecting at least a couple hours of downtime - four at the most.

You could always go over and play at SW like some others are doing :D.....or you could play with all those great animals you have.
Yes, Josh, you are doing a wonderful job here. Thank you.

OK folks, tonight's the night. We're gonna go dark here in an hour or so. Just as soon as I finish my dinner. The site should be up and running on the new server before midnight, if all goes as planned.

Wish me luck!
