The hosting change has been completed.

Before you complain about stuff not working:
1. Clear your cookies.
2. Flush your DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns).
3. Restart your browser.

If all this fails to alleviate your problems then you're a liar and you haven't done all 3 steps.

This Saturday, October 24th, we're taking down the forum to switch hosts and do a bit of maintenance. Ideal downtime will be about 4 hours, but I'm sure there will be setbacks.

We encourage you to join us on IRC during the downtime where you can watch FC berate me for screwing shit up as it all goes terribly wrong!
