Greetings All,

Letting you all know that a new website is in the works.  These forums will still be in use, so there is to be no lost to accounts and postings.

As per part of the upgrade process, these forums are going to be cut from the portal and made independent.  What does this mean:
- All user accounts will remain in place and as they are
- All data will be migrated
- The same forum system is in use (Simple Machine Forums; SMF)
- A redirect link will be provided here, for those using history or bookmarks.
- Portal Links will be updated.

Reasons for this:
- The bridge between the portal and forums is not fully functional and causes some accounts to not be registered.
- Better use of the URL, instead of using V1, V2, V3, etc...
- Multiple use of databases, rather than using one (portal and message board) for better performance
