Wednesday Morning Downtime

[liljim]

Just a quick heads up - we're going to be downing the database tomorrow morning for some maintenance. As many of you are aware as of Tom's post last week, we upgraded the software and hardware and additional tweaks are required to get things moving along more smoothly and we'll be adding a couple more replication slaves to the cluster for good measure.

We expect the site to be down for approximately an hour to ninety minutes starting around 7am EDT. This downtime will not impact the NG Ads server for running in-Flash ads.

Be sure and check out:

- Stamper's Metal Gear Competition Thread
- The Pico Day 2008 Winners
- Luis' page covering the Pico Day Art Contest Winners
- Mindchamber's video of Tom receiving his 30th birthday present

And although I forgot before - if you're part of the monthly voting contingent, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Yep, I edited the original post. Shwoo.

Tom uses Liljim's delightful and soothing english accent to break us bad news. I can see right through him!

[Lotus]

Sounds like a plan. See yall after the changes! :D

Oh well, if it helps to get rid of all the silly error messages I've been getting lately, then it'll be worth it.
