Soon the forum will be offline, possibly for as long as 24 hours or so. The reason behind it is that we're in the process of switching Web hosts again. We're outgrowing our current host, and with plans to switch to the new system coming up, we need more space. We've found a wonderful deal with a new host for 10 times the storage space that we currently have and 10 times the allotted bandwidth, so we decided to certainly take advantage of it. The switch requires that our domain (dsboards.com) be pointed to this new host and that generally takes about 24-48 hours to complete (though it's usually closer to 24), and we might be offline for much of that time. Rest assured, however, that nothing will change for you. You'll still be able to access the forum with the same URL:
http://www.dsboards.comas soon as the host switch is complete.
A note of warning: we'll be backing up the forum as often as possible prior to the switch, but if we lose access to our current host, some of the most recent posts and IMs may not be able to be backed up. So, if you notice that something of yours is missing after we've come back online, that will mean that you'll need to make your post or send out your IM all over again.
However, at the moment we're still waiting for our new account to be setup, so it's still completely safe to post and IM. A second notice will be posted once the host switch process has begun.
Thanks for your patience during this time.
Midnite, MB and dom
