    That would be inadvisable.

    "Excuse me?"

    If you attempt to gain access to the new website and forum before it is released, you will alert SCE and may leave yourself open to charges being brought against you for breaching the Code of Conduct.

    "That was just an expression!"

    An expression of what?

    "A figure of speech. I was trying to tell him that I was looking forward to seeing it."

    Ah. Then 'not being able to wait' implies the desire for something to happen sooner?

    "That's right."

    Hm. I am curious - what is the etymology of that idiom?

    "Hm?"

    How did it come to be used in contemporary language?

    "Er, I don't know, sir."

    Can never resist an excuse for a Star Trek quote, even if I had to make a few tweaks. Big Grin

    I'm doing my best not to break down and ask old friends for the address so that I can get a sneak peek. I think being in the loop is what I miss most about being in SFC.

    As an interesting fact, the forum index of the new site is ~54% smaller in file size than the current forum.

    By "all services" does this include TS as well? Will we have an alternate TS server available? If not there are a few places that offer free TS that we could use for the day.

    To answer your questions: Yes, and yes. There is another post about the backup site and teamspeak. All that information was also emailed out, so check your inbox. Smile

    When loading the new site for the first time, that statistic will look quite unlikely lol, however it largely comes down to the big background image we have on this forum - the blue nebula.
    On the new site we're using a combination of file types to try and lower the file size without harming the aesthetic, but of course the design is entirely different from that being used here.
