...is it just me, or have the Noesis forums gone down? And if they have, is this a worrying portent for the new site?

Either way, they're "back" now.

Dunno. I'm not going on the noesis forums for the moment - my dissertation won't write itself, alas.
The BBC servers aren't always rock steady, either....

This was at least five solid minutes when they were reported as "unreachable", then they were back. From personal experience with the webhosts by own boards are hosted on it looks like they rebooted the server, but that sort of "random reboot" would be catastrophic for hootoo running in an "image".
