Upgrading Forum Software

The server itself seems to be doing OK, but we're continuing to get corrupt database tables once in a while. They're causing some minor grief. In an effort to get away from that grief, we've decided to upgrade to the latest version of Invision Power Board. The request has been submitted to our host, so the boards could go offline at any point in the next day or two.
This means the forums will be unavailable for several hours once this process starts. We'll try to put a news story online when it's underway, but we don't know exactly when that will be, so it could be a while before we officially let you know it's happening.
It also means that we'll temporarily be without our custom board hacks, like Premier banners over avatars, spinnies, spoiler tags, and so on. It may take a few days to get those put back online, but they'll get there.
The end result should be snappier and more robust board software. It's got some nifty new features that I think you'll like.
And yes, I'm still tired of posting server updates. I should change my name to Server Update Boy. I mean, it's not like interesting things aren't happening (they really are), it's just not time to talk about any of it yet. But in the meantime I'll just do the server updates in my best Ben Stein voice.
