Well we are back from the other side and up and running again.
It took significantly longer than everyone anticipated. Instead of 12 hours downtime we suffered just over 24 hours. This was due to so many small files having to be syncd with the new disks. Not a problem though and all is well that ends well.Our new server for 2011 has now a whopping 3000GB of storage which should allow us to greatly expand our 'large' roms sections throughout the coming year.
Can I just say thanks to everyone that has donated during 2010. Give yourselves a pat on the back
because it was your donations that allow us to upgrade the server. Always remember that your actions have a direct effect on this site. 
Previously :-
Downtime : 06/01/2011 from 08:00 GMT/UTC until approx 20:00 GMT/UTC (12 hours)
The website and forums will be offline tomorrow 6th Jan 2011 from approx 8:00 GMT/UTC (03:00 EST) for a sheduled hardware upgrade. No services will be available for approx 12 hours while the hardware upgrade takes place.
Please keep checking back to see when we are online again. You can also follow us on twitter for hourly news updates.
