Scheduled downtime

At around 12:00 PM Central Time tomorrow, the forum will be temporarily closed to make way for essential database maintenance work. Downtime will likely be in the region of 3-4 hours.

Please note that the exact time and date of this downtime may still be subject to change, however, as I am still in the process of testing various scripts and may not be fully prepared by tomorrow.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

What's that in English? *grin*

Good luck with the database maintenance/upgrade/surgery. Whatever you're doing to it!

The work is now almost completed, just tidying some stuff up before I put the forum back online. Should there be anything amiss, users who experience problems or irregularities with the board software are asked report their findings in a reply to this thread.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, I also took the opportunity to prune member accounts with 0 posts that have not been active since 1st December 2005, so you may notice the total number of members specified on the board index stats has dropped slightly. Further pruning may follow in the next few weeks or months.
