    FYI, I'm soon going to be taking the site offline  in order to move us to our new web server.   This is the second part of the migration that we started a month or so ago.
    This move will involved a DNS (Domain Name Service) change, so you might not be able to get to the site until the DNS values in your computer are updated with the latest info.
    Hopefully this shouldn't effect anyone for more than a couple of hours tops...
    Thanks
    -JB

    for those who don't know how to clear out your dns manually 
    Windows XP or Earlier
    Select Runtype >  cmdClick OpenIn the black box type ipconfig/flushdns
    Windows Vista and laterAt the search box after clicking the "Start Circle"type > cmdright click and select run as administratorIn the black box type ipconfig/flushdns
    Some Routers will also store DNS information and will need to be power cycled to clear out its dns cache

    Just a heads up... This is probably going to happen in the next hour or so... I'm transferring the site now and I'll have to take it offline soon to backup/transfer the database...

    The move is complete. Everything seems to be working except for Chat. I'll have that fixed a bit later...
