Starting at 9AM EST this coming Wednesday February 25th I will be performing a number of necessary maintenance tasks to the site and our servers. This work will attempt to resolve a number of technical and configuration issues designed to make the site more reliable, secure and efficient.

This is NOT a website upgrade or update. The focus is entirely on the back-end systems and hardware. I would normally do this sort of thing on a Saturday to impact the fewest number of people but since I will require the help of additional people to deal with the physical hardware I have to work around their schedules.

I expect the site to offline shortly after 9AM and remain offline for most if not all of the day, until as late as 11PM EST. I apologize for the inconvenience but it is necessary and unavoidable.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
