Database upgrade tonight

[Yoda]

Hey guys,

Rob, our friendly neighborhood server admin, is upgrading the database that MoFo's running on. Should be sometime around 11:30 - 12:00 midnight tonight. I'm not sure if this will result in significant downtime, slowdowns, etc, but the site will probably be unavailable for a short while around that general time period, and it's possible it might be a bit sluggish afterwards.

Just thought ya'll should know.

Is this routine maintenance or are there going to be some new features or changes?

[KasperKristensen]

Yeah what he said.

[martian leader]

Fine with me. ;)

On the user end, no new features or changes. The new database should be more efficient in some ways, and has some features that we might be able to take advantage of on the back-end, but it's more of a behind-the-scenes upgrade, and isn't tied to any new site areas or anything.

Sounds good, because I usually go to bed around 11:30 anyway.

Thanks Yods :)
