Looks like the forum was down for almost an hour here but I was wonder if it might have been a local DDoS Attack who wanted to get this site offline and such?

Probably not. It's actually a common occurance (too many people posting for the server to handle), it just hasn't happened for a while .

None of the above. We took the server down and moved it across the room. We're gonna take it down one more time because we plugged it in wrong.

We've been planning this for like 2+ weeks - Alex just never posted a notice on here. Here's the maintenance notification we sent to customers, if you're interested: http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=43f ... 290b3af97c

Thank you Alex for the notice in advance.
