Upcoming Downtime

Hey all,
We're gearing up to convert the board to phpBB3! I hope everyone else is just as excited for this as I am. \:D/ To facilitate the conversion, we have planned some downtime just before the new board opens. We decided to plan this for a Sunday, as we have the least amount of traffic that day with everyone off to church and spending time with the family and whatnot. Hopefully this will inconvenience everyone as little as possible.

So, this Sunday, August 2nd, we will all be without our beloved ToO. Well, you will. Some of us will still be here. ;) This should take place from Midnight to Midnight, EDT, with the goal of being ready for opening Monday the 3rd, 12am EDT all fresh and shiny and new.

Any questions?

Thanks,
Tyler and Darcie

Is it going to say something like "The ToO is closing down :(" on the front page during that time? \:D/

It's going to say, "You all spammed too much, and now The ToO is broken. Good job. :( "

Thanks for the warning. At least I'll know that it is not my computer. I will be very glad to have the ToO back!!

Sleeping in and other non-ToO (maybe even productive :shock: activities) are good alternatives for that day. :D

I don't go to church myself that day... so, I find working outside and reading a wonderful thing to do on a hard day of work... without internet! Okay, ToO... *snicker*

Finally the switch! Just before my plan! Oh, sorry... um, yes, well, good thing it is on a Sunday... I can get more done....

Too bad I'll be without internet for that time anyway. :( It'll be a while till I get to see the new and improved ToO... Maybe we should call it the WE. ;)

phpBB3 is NOT a free forum service. It is software that powers discussion boards such as this one. There are free forum hosting services that utilize installations of phpBB3. This board is staying at this location. This board currently runs phpBB2, so going to phpBB3 will be an upgrade.

^what she said.


Also...the beta board will still be up during the downtime...so if you really want to post somewhere...you can always go there. ;)
