With the increasing popularity of the ASP.NET Forums we now have over 300,000 members and over 1,600,000 posts. To handle this growth we need to move to a new and dedicated SQL server. At 9.00PM PDT on Saturday June 23, 2007 we will shut down the ASP.NET
Forums and make the move. We expect a three-hour outage as we back up the data, move it to its new home, restore it, and test the site before bringing it back online at 12.00AM PDT.
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by this outage, and thank you for your patience as we continue to improve the ASP.NET Web site.
The hardware update is complete and was successful. The only issue we noted is that search results are now showing the same incorrect time. We will correct this as quickly as possible.
