Early on Sunday morning I'll take the forums offline, to move the servers to brand new infrastructure at our new host in Germany. I've moved the rest of Beyond3D there in dribs and drabs over the last few weeks, and I'm happy enough with the physical hardware and setup now to move the forums as well.
The move to a new host spends the Beyond3D budget better and saves us a nice chunk of money every month. There are secondary benefits, but that's the main driving force.
The provider has excellent transit and peering in Europe and to North America, so you shouldn't notice any difference in performance.
Anyway, Sunday morning. If I postpone it for whatever reason, I'll let everyone know.
