NOTICE: Forums unavailable much of Saturday

[riz]

Attention Revision3 Forum denizens-

We're doing some crafty behind-the-scenes machinations on Saturday which involves shuffling our main database around. Without going into too much detail, the upshot is that we'll have a read-only copy of the database around so that the main site can continue working (and you can watch your favorite shows), but since our forum software requires a writable database, we're going to have to disable the forums during the window.

The downtime will begin sometime after 9:30AM PST (17:30 UTC), and will be done by 5pm PST (01:00 UTC Sunday) - though we *hope* it will be done long before then (both for your sanity and ours).

We hope this doesn't spoil your weekend too much. (Or, at least not as much as it's spoiling mine and Chuck's :D )

Thanks for letting us know. So we aren't surprised with a mystery downage. :D

Thanks for the update. Can I just say that Revision3's communication with us has been pretty much perfect (apart from the shop delays) recently. Great job guys :) Hope they work goes well.

Will we get to stay logged in now?

Thanks for the update guys.

And while the forum is down, everyone should hop in the IRC chat at rev3irc.com (http://rev3irc.com)

As you can see, the forums are back up. We're still doing some capacity work, but hopefully no major glitches before everything's back online.

Thanks for your patience...

Thanks for the update Jeff.
