Apologies to everyone for today's period of downtime. I had to perform some maintenance on the server and it took slightly longer than anticipated. There are a few issues remaining and I am continuing to work on them. Hopefully everything should be back up and running as normal soon. 
its cool
Maintenance is both necessary and good. It keeps things working properly. No apologies necessary.
Next time just give us a heads up of when maintenance will occur

I will try, sorry. In my defence, today's issues were unexpected; the server was experiencing quite high loads and while I was investigating it decided to go a little nuts. I have now updated all packages, rebooted and rebuilt the MySQL index for these forums. The server is still fluctuating with medium/high loads and I am still investigating. Hopefully it will settle down soon. 
Funnily enough, I received a PM this morning regarding moving the various parts of this site (wiki, forums etc) to separate subdomains. It is something I have been thinking about myself, but I have not made any definite commitments to it yet. Today's problems might encourage me to consider it sooner, rather than later.
Also, I am not sure if anyone cares, but if they do and for their peace of mind, I run nightly automated backups for this site. If the worst were to happen and the server actually went CRUNCH BANG, the most we should lose is a days worth of posts.
P.S. The forum database now consists of over a million rows and is 50MB+ size!
