All servers, including the forums, will be down on August 28th from around 11am to about 2pm PDT. We are performing hardware updates during this time. We hope to get everything done within an hour but are allowing for three hours just in case we run in to problems. IRC and Lore will still be online.
Right now we have $2,345 of the requested $5,500 for the server upgrades. So the upgrade may not be as good as I was hoping for but time will tell.
