VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

You can now search inside forums. We hope you enjoy this feature -- and we will improve it in the near future.
Friday, May 2, 2008: New servers are in!
The new servers have been installed!
Sorry for the extended downtime folks. There were some complications in the migration but we took measures to ensure the data integrity of all the forums. Thank you for being patient during the recent past trying times. Going forward, we are excited to offer you a better, more reliable service, and look forward to rolling out new features. If you experience any weirdness or inconsistencies at all, please use this Bugs form to let us know!

Wednesday, April 30, 2008: Planned Downtime
We are planning on installing our new servers on the night of Saturday, May 10th. The migration of all the forums could possibly take several hours, but we are very excited to have our new servers going online. The new architecture has redundant capabilities so downtime should be exceedingly rare or non-existent.
Wednesday, April 30, 2008: Hardware issues
We experienced hardware issues again. We will be installing the new servers which will provide vastly better speed and reliability.
Thursday, April 24, 2008: Unscheduled downtime
There were some hardware related problems causing extended downtime. We used the opportunity to install one of our new servers. We will be transitioning to two more new servers soon. The new servers are extremely fast and we have been eager to get them online in order to improve VoyForums speed.
Monday Mar 31, 2008: Unscheduled downtime
We experienced some problems when putting in some crucial software-fixes. The fixes are now in and should resolve many problems people have been experiencing, especially with Rebuilds.
We are still keeping a close eye on the system and may make small changes here and there, but we do not anticipate any prolonged downtime. Please report problems from the Bug form in the Exchange Section.
