Scheduled downtime and forum will be off
I received an email regarding VPS move to new IP addresses. So we will take forum off to avoid the loss of posts, signups, credits etc. on 28th and 29th of this month. Here is message which we received:

We would like to let you know that there will be reassignment of IP addresses for all clients utilizing our VPS services.
This is because the current IP address space has been blacklisted on SpamHaus incorrectly. We are certainly working with the SpamHaus team to have it white listed, but as we expect and know this from experience that it will take couple of months to be cleared. Hence, we are proceeding with migrating to a new IP address block.
Since changing IPs will involve changing DNS entries which may lead to downtime due to DNS propagation, we are allowing you to chose the IP-transfer period between 24th December, 2008 and 1st January, 2009. We will require a 4 hour time period to transfer data over to the new IP space. Please let us know the date and time you would like us to execute this.
If we do not receive an answer from you by the 28th December, 2008 (open a new ticket titled "VPS Transfer"). We will carry out the transfer on the 30th December, 2008 at our time of choosing. And since this is a provider issue, we will make all the server configurations changes and DNS edits for free regardless of your management service level with us.
Most probebly we will be back on 30th or 31st of this month. Payment requests will also be processed after we will back.
