Hi


We are upgrading the forum's server, in fact we are moving it to a new one with shiny new hardware, 100Mbs connection (instead of 10Mbs) and double the RAM. There was a red light on the box that said "About to break, take action!" so it had to be done as soon as possible.


So to move it over to the new server we are going to take it down tonight at 21:00 and bring it back up when we can (these timings may change). Ideally this will be the next morning (Thursday) however if things go wrong it maybe longer. Also to throw a spanner in the works I'm going away on Friday lunchtime until Monday morning, so should anything go wrong with the server move and it's not resolved by 12:00 Friday expect a forum free weekend. Hopefully this will not happen but I thought I'd warn you just in case.



(Edited because I put the wrong day on there. Thanks for pointing it out Dean. Drew.)

Good luck admin.


No doubt on Monday there will be at least one thread saying "what the Hell happened to the forum, it's well out of order, admin (whoever the hell that is) should have had the decency to come to my house and inform me personally!!!".

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
