We did the upgrade in a test environment and it did not take this long however, that was a smaller limited record test database. When we upgraded the live database, which has over 336,000 posts, it is taking a good bit longer to rebuild every post.
Once we get the post database rebuilt, I will probably bring the board active again overnight and I will do the rest of the less-intrusive upgrades over the course of the week.
I think the forums will be down at least another 1-2 hours tonight. I hope to have them back up by Midnight, but I am at the mercy of the machine right now.
