There's something weird going on with the DNS that I can't put my finger on.

The old forum is on the old server, and shut - the "Closed for maintenance" message (but the server iself is still running).

So if the DNS for emaildiscussions.com gets resolved (locally for you) to the old IP address, you'll see the "Closed for maintenance" message.

If it gets resolved to the new IP address, you'll be here on the open forum on the new hosting platform.

I imagine there must be all kinds of caches in place that various ISPs have running, and perhaps some take days or even weeks to fully flush old DNS data?
