We'll be performing a much needed upgrade. Nothing major will change. It's mostly bug and security fixes. You might notice a few small changes here and there, but the style of the site will be all the same. We're confident most functions will operate as normal. Some of our custom work might need to be tweaked a little and we appreciate patience. The site will likely be down for appox. 1 hour. I'll bump this as a reminder on tuesday. thanks!

PM count previous to update... 3 ( :frown: )

The bar has been set.

This could easily be the famous last words out of Greg.

Oh, my God ... that's almost as scary as the phrase "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you"
 
Wednesday doesn't work for me.

Hey, isn't that fringe science? We only deal with mainstream end-of-the-world theories here :-p
 
Ok, seriously. Where are we going to meet while it's down? We blew it last couple of minor-software-updates-that-won't-have-any-negative-effects.
 
Here's a map I whipped up for tomorrow's fire drill. Hopefully it will help reduce chaos for future emergencies.

Be gentle; I was on my laptop without a mouse so I had to use the trackpad.

well,since the US is using China's money, I'm assuming we're going to use China's time. :smile:

So the world will end at either GMT: 9pm, 7am or 5.30am. Good to know.

Less than an hour to go! :rolleyes:

That's finally something unambiguous.
 
Wait. What? I thought it happened already and we were in the clear...

Oh noes!
