The forum will be placed in Maintenance Mode during this time (shouldn't take very long at all, really).

The forum is being rolled over into a server I pay for annually, so I will be updating the DNS information as well. As the DNS change propagates across the internet, the site may flux between the former hosting account and the new one, so the best course of action is to wait for propagation before leaving Maintenance...

If I set the Permissions correctly, everyone (registered) should have the ability to hop into Chat, set their chat status, and create one channel for while they are logged into Chat. I am not using the "persistent" room feature for the beta phase.

One other feature appears to be the...

I've re-activated one of the Styles again: Corp

• I've made adjustments to the various board areas, and created a General Chat. Previously, I had a separate General Chat for both the Atari 8-bit area and the non-Atari 8-bit areas. These are now combined since... well, it's General stuff.

• New smilies have been added. While...
