    Due to some necessary server maintenance, there will be a short outage sometime after 8PM EST March 3, 2023. I expect that this will only take 15 minutes but may take longer. Sorry for the inconvenience. Matthew

    Gotta take the current server hamsters to a farm upstate, eh?

        Oh gawd. You're doing "essential maintenance" on a Friday? There's a recipe for a long weekend at work ... :laugh: Here's hoping you all manage to avoid that!

            Rather than a glass of wine, how about a screwdriver?

              The backup plan is a hammer. But I see what you did there.

                          I trust you to have informed the seismologists so there will be no false alarms about earthquakes when millions of CP members will stomp the ground when CP will be offline for 15...minutes ;P :laugh:

                            One has to do what one has to do. The rules. How often does the site go offline for maintenance? Not many. I cannot recall the last time.

                              It's been years. This one is because we have to move our main database to a new file system due to a big cleanup Matthew did. It should only be 10-15 minutes but there was no easy way to keep everything online while we did it so we decided to bite the bullet. In theory we can actually be without the database for that 15 mins, but we're not going to mess around for that short a period of time.
