Our server has been down for longer than expected. We anticipate having it up shortly.

Site went down again this morning. It doesn't appear Jdeg will be able to solve the deeper database issues - talking directly to the host. Site will be up and down intermittently. We should be faster currently but I will be monitoring the site through the night.

Working on upgrading the server, first, and then some major upgrades to the forum software. You are all aware that there have been ongoing issues with both access to and features on P.ie for a while. Your patience is appreciated. Thread buff.ly/2BPo5G0

We spoke too soon. Working on a fix now.

Now that we've migrated succesfully we are upgrading the forum software. Back Soon!

Experiencing some downtime this morning - expect to be back shortly.

Our host is currently having difficulties with the traffic surge courtesy of the recent events in the UK. We're investigating.

And we're back.

Currently dealing with server issues talking with our host right now. The length of this particular outage stems from me being in international transit for the past 22 hours. Thank you for the emails but don't worry we should be up soon.

We've been back up and stable for the past hour. Taking some automation steps with host to avoid this happening in the future. Thank you for your patience.
