This Devil Doesn’t Wear Prada

Though it is starting to seem like RX-7s are a thing of the past, running across some beautifully built ones still brings tears of joy to our eyes.

Warning of planned site disruption

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Tomorrow we will be transitioning the entire site to a completely new rack of equipment at our new hosting provider. This process will begin at 9 AM GMT (31st May 2008) and will mean some disruption, primarily in the form of forums downtime (which may be up two hours). Once the switchover is complete it will take some time for the DNS changes to fully propogate and so you may for a short time be redirect to the new servers by URLs with the word ‘new’ in them, once all downstream DNS caches pick up the changes these URLs will begin to clear. Any issues with the site after the end of the switchover (about 12 PM GMT) should be reported using the Feedback page.
