Forum Upgrade

A bit of a public service announcement.

I'm going to upgrade the forum software tomorrow. There will be a bit of down time while it's underway. The most immediately noticeable difference will be that the non-default styles (limit lime, limit avocado) will be lost; the style system of phpBB 3.0.x is not supported by 3.2.x. Apart from that, it should be silky smooth. I'll be creating backups of the forum just in case something goes wrong, and if all else fails, we can always revert.

Because I don't need to summon everyone to the forum.

That depends on a number of factors I have little control over. It would be, hopefully, around 6 PM EST, or midnight in eastern Europe, or 3 PM on the US west coast. This time could easily shift, though, which is why I'm not listing an official timeframe.
