I've been upgrading a number of things on the server (firewall, kernel, php, etc.) today, and it will continue tonight and tomorrow.

This requires a reboot every once in a while, and some of the items being installed could lead to temporary errors while the settings are being tweaked.

I don't anticipate any extended downtime, and there may be none. If there is any downtime lasting more than a few minutes, I will post updates on http://status.broncosforums.com which resides on the backup server.

Ok, coming up on another upgrade that might cause some problems. I am working with the linus management company, so I don't know the exact time they are going to make the change, but over the next couple hours, it's possible that a few things will become broken temporarily.

Well, the forums are working, but right now if you go to Http://broncosforums.com (without the /forums) there is an error. I'm trying to get this fixed.
