What do you mean by "locked out" ?
If it is that the forum appears locked as under server maintenance, that's because you're seeing the old server instead of the new one.
It can happen because of the DNS caches between you and the site.
Basically, there are some parts of the internet which still think that the address "aceattorney.sparklin.org" corresponds to the old server, so you can get redirected there, quite randomly. When the new DNS record will have propagated everywhere (usually it takes around an hour), and all of the net knows that "aceattorney.sparklin.org" has a new address, it will all be fine

Could be my internet today.ç
EDIT: Nope. Definitely faster for some reason. Post sent instantly rather than about 1 second. Awesome!
Good to know !
Actually, this new server has a smaller CPU than the previous one so I was afraid it would be slower, but apparently so far it makes up with its increased RAM for caching and everything - and also probably benefits from a few optimisations I've made compared to the old configuration.
Anyway, we'll see how it fares - I have a plan to boost the site quite a lot again in the next few weeks anyway.
