    Default Updates soon, possible downtime

    I'm going to be doing some updates most probably starting tomorrow around 6pm, so there *could* be some downtime.

    1) I will be re-routing the domain, so rather than it using name servers, it will be using a dedicated IP (so if the hosts nameservers fail, the site will stay online).
    2) I will be placing all images on the forum (including images in the design) onto a Content Delivery Network that is in the process of being setup by our hosts (I got a very good deal from them, because they are great http://www.collisionhosting.com/).

    Basically all images will be copied from the main server and replicated to servers worldwide. When someone visits the site, all the images will be downloaded from a server closer to them, reducing page loading time The site is fast at the moment, but you can always be faster

    Stage 1 is complete

    The CDN will most probably go live at the weekend.
