Forums read-only for a few hours

[rac]

We are dropping an obsoleted index on the forum search wordmatch table, as part of an ongoing attempt to improve forum performance. Until this operation finishes, which could take a few hours, posting threads will hang. In order to keep the forums somewhat usable, everything is read-only for now. We will restore posting as soon as the index drop finishes. Thanks for your patience.
