Downtime Announcement: Starting April Off

Macawmoses · March 20, 2011, 07:41:01 PM

Sir Silver and I are pleased to announce a round of downtime. This downtime will last from Thursday, March 31st to Sunday, April 3rd.

The downtime is not specifically scheduled, but will focus on the move to the new server. The Thursday night will feature back-ups. Anything posted after the back-up will not transfer over.

Because of the nature of other sites, like 8th Circuit and SHH MOM!, NSFCD is scheduled to be re-uploaded last. Thus, you likely will miss your daily dose on at least Friday. Sorry about that.

Silver and I will be posting updates on twitter (@aaronhudspeth, @MacKinnon_Kyle) throughout the weekend, as well. Also during this time will be the re-launch of the Area 6 forums. It will be available for the staff during this time (as well as a view only preview for users) and officially launch on the following Monday.

All told, it's a tall order. Hopefully the sites on our server won't be terribly slow like they are now. Oh, and things are guaranteed to break. Yes, yes they are.

Will promises be broken again? :(

But uh, hope everything goes well and that there's not too much trouble getting everything set up.

It should be fairly painless. The longest part will be uploading everything.

Within that time is April 1st, so I instantly don't believe you :3

Funny, Bored already had his suspicions in the board no one can see.

So that means no April Fools joke? UNLESS...

Very suspicious indeed.

We'll say it went peacefully in its sleep.

Would be more like admitting that granny died long before the plug was pulled.

Probably, with an even less deserving head admin with undeserving staff. Kinda like now except all will be partially less deserving.
