Default Server Move In Progress

The servers that this site and it's forums are usually on are in the process of moving. They'll be shipped cross-country tomorrow and hopefully will be installed soon.

Meanwhile, the site and forums are on two separate, less powerful backup boxes and as a result, you may notice slightly slower page load times. Apologies, but it's only temporary.

Look up the top of the page:

Just adding something from http://forums.finalgear.com/the-forums/something-wrong-with-the-avatars-18121/

Would be more logical to make the announcement about the forums at "The Forums" category, but whatever... It's never any interesting news on the front page anyway, so I barely ever read it.. images/smilies/bangin.gif

Also didnt see that. If you make statements about the server, atleast use some colors that isnt as bland as the usual theme.. Just a thought >_>

The servers have shipped from california..

If you were getting long page loads, it was because some idiot from another forum decided to hotlink images from us, and it locked the webserver.. the issue is fixed, so everything should be relatively stable now.

I prefer no avatars, I know who everyone is from looking at the sigs and I bother to look at the red writing if they don't have one. Everything loads faster too.
