Yes it was called Academy...I do have suspicions that the timer is for the release of the academy... Dan and Dave said on their twitter that they were spending the weekend putting the final touches on a project.
But hopefully they'll release a VB v3.
Dan and Dave announced not long ago that they are changing their forums (and clearly website) as it's not being used in the way that they want it to be. Sure, it my be the release of the academy as well but I think the site will get a facelift to fit the image they want.
