I find it very odd that they would take their forums down, to upgrade them or whatever, right when they release the public beta for their much awaited PG 2.

Either they are very confident in their new program or just the opposite.

It just doesn't inspire me much..

If the forums went down it was either because of technical errors or problems at the physical wherehouse. We wouldnt take it down simply for promo reasons since that really doesnt make any logical sense.
