[Update 6/5/08 1:00am] We have scheduled additional maintenance that will be occurring between 12:00(noon)-1:30pm PDT on Thursday 6/5. During this window, forums may be completely offline for 15-20 minutes at a time as we work on the individual servers. --There Operations

In an effort to resolve the issues with the recent slowdown of the forums, we will be having some forum outages throughout the day. When we have finished making the changes that will hopefully fix the forums, we will update this post. Thanks for your patience.
