Title: Downtime Announcement: Starting April Off
Post by: Macawmoses on 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.

Feel free to contact 8th-Circuit's owner and see if he's been issued notice that the sites will be down. Trust me, I don't "joke" with other people's business. This year will have no joke.

I'm not sure what makes Silver undeserving. Paying the bills is pretty much the only requisite I can see here.

Joke sir. Though if you met him at OldSider, most of the non-staff forum would think this staff is undeserving of staff until they see them do stuff like pay bills and moderate well.

Upon checking, I noticed that you just made your 15k a few posts ago.
Where'd the other 1,000 or so come from? Do the posts in the staff boards add to your total, even though we can't see them in your profile?

When I went to click the "new" button after the Pokemon board from the index (that usually brought up all topics in that board wit unread replies) I just got a blank page.
This happened each of the 3 times I tried.

For some reason NSFCD doesn't want me to jump to a child board's new topics from the index.
