590084 2007-09-11 01:50:00 The forums will probably be down for a few hours tonight, due to a scheduled maintenance on the power grid by Vector. This is scheduled to happen from 7PM to 11PM. Please allow some time on either side for the site to get back up.
I say probably because Vector has told us it is weather dependent. If the weather turns nasty they will try again tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it's out of our hands :)

You guys must host the websites in your own office, because if it was hosted in a datacentre you shouldn't get any downtime at all.

Yep, as far as I am aware the PC World site (at lest PressF1 & The blogs) are hosted in the PC World towers (We found this out when Auckland had that big black out last year (2006))
