We're moving the game servers and the website to the new host this Friday night. Figure on a few hours of downtime starting around 9pm while DNS catches up. Sorry for the short notice, but the old box has been flaking out all week and we didn't want to risk losing anything.
The current box has been dropping connections on and off for about two weeks now, and after a long chat with the hosting company we've decided it's not worth waiting for them to sort out whatever's wrong with it on their end.
Expect the Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2 servers to go down around 9pm and stay down for a few hours while the files copy over and DNS updates propagate. The forum will be read-only for roughly the same window, so if you need to post something urgent, do it before then. Everyone's accounts, stats and forum history are being carried over, so there's nothing you need to do on your end.
If things aren't back up by Saturday morning, post in the General Discussion forum rather than emailing me directly. I'll be checking that first. Thanks for bearing with us, the new host should be considerably more stable going forward.
