    The forums will be down for about 10-15 minutes on Monday as we upgrade the server (we are adding CPUs and more RAM, so the forums should run a bit faster -- it is mostly to address the slowness issues with Botany Photo of the Day, though).

    Having my doubts that they might accomplish this today, since they are 30 minutes late so far.

    This was done yesterday. Instead of an estimated 5-10 minutes downtime, it seemed to have taken about 75 minutes.
