Default Forum Down

My forum with forumhoster.com has been down all day so far, what's up?
I know about the hardware move but there has been an excessive downtime for the work entailed.

Are we forumhoster clients going to get an email interface for support?

Yes, I noted that and I can understand that but, I work in IT and have done so for the past 16 years and a server relocation should not cause this amount of downtime.
In addition, since we had no directives from you to the effect that we could use this forum for support until today (after the downtime started) we had no warning that this would take place and could not inform members in advance.
With the past history of forumhoster being hacked, an outage like this, with no advance warning could destroy a forum.
I feel that since the take over we have been treated like second class citizens.

dude...no offence but dont you think you should atleast give them a chance to get things in order before you start to complain? I'm in the same boat as you but I understand that Forumer has a fair amount of work to do to get things set up so that everything runs smoothly. A couple days downtime is'nt the end of the world. Atleast it is'nt for me.
