Facing imminent disk drive failure, we've decided to take this opportunity and move to an entirely new server. No data will be lost and there should be little downtime (~2h) over the new couple days. Mostly due to any DNS propagation. It will be a faster server ready to serve you PF discussions at great speeds to quench your thirst! Due to this development we'll likely wait to announce PF Award winners till Thursday! Thanks for your understanding!

If we do encounter any unexpected hiccups we'll post updates at

Oh alright, you can have some catnip and a goldfish.

Nope, we're driving blind... :D

Evo, put ALL the kittehs in the car. We are going to need something to cushion us in the crash.

In a few minutes I'll be closing the forum.

Farewell all! It has been a good run! I shall see you all on the other side!
 
Well folks, I hate to say it but I screwed up. The data transfer went a bit haywire and I'm going to have to do it over again. I'll be moving the database last so I can turn them back on for a bit. I'll expect to close them again in a few hours. Sorry!
 
Thank you Greg! The most important thread on the forum was saved...The Kitten thread.

You can have them. They just won't be...well...we won't say anymore on that subject.
 
PF rises like a phoenix, reborn, better than ever. Ready to flex its wings and take flight!
 
Thank you Greg for the hard work you made to improve PF! Now we could see how terrible boring the World were without the little world PF. Keep it alive forever!
