This weekend, the server on which the Chiff and Fipple Forums is hosted will be undergoing an upgrade which will necessitate making the forums <b>unavailable for most to all of the weekend</b>.
The server will be receiving a new disk controller and an additional 240GB of disk; since this server is used for a considerable amount other than these forums, the extended downtime is necessary to back up and restore the existing 300GB of websites, software, databases and mail stored here.
I expect the forums to be back up and going Sunday evening or Monday morning. Since the server is heavily disk-bound currently, I expect the upgrade to positively impact the performance of the new forum software.
Thank you for your patience during these upgrades.
Cheers,<ul>-Rich</ul>
