Downtime Warning - A Tale of Maintenance Past
08-06-2017, 09:18 PM
So hey, there's this thing called "updates" we need to do, and we're going to be doing it somewhat soon.
This coming weekend, August 12th and 13th, we'll be messing with things for a while, and there'll be some time during that with-messing that the forums will be off.
We do have backups and such, so in the event of catastrophic update failure, we'll probably be fine. Probably. Maybe.
While we do these things, we'll be keeping people up to date in the Discord. Want up-to-the-minute status reports on exactly what's going on? ...I mean, that's a bit much, but you can hit Schazer or I up on Discord and we'll probably give you something, at least.
If there's anything specific you think we should look at while we do this, some time this week would be a good time to prod us about it. We'll be updating both the platform (version of PHP, SQL, etc) and the software (MyBB), so this is as good a time as any to look at possible additional tweaks.
