We’re dealing with a faulty drive on the primary englishforums server. The site will be slow until the unit can be replaced. We’ll keep you updated.
Update 19:26 CET: We’re moving the rest of the system off the problem drive, it should take about 20 mins.
Update 12:31 CET 08/01/2010: The new unit is in place, as we’re slowly moving the system back to normal. There many be occasional offline spans that might last a few minutes.
Issue resolved
