ZS Will Be Down for Scheduled Maintenance 28 June

[whisk.e.rebellion]

The dreaded maintenance...

Our hosting company is doing some upgrades, which means we will be unreachable from 10:30pm to 11pm (Central Time) tonight.

Don't panic; go check on your pantry, repack your bugout bag, or just go to bed early

The dreaded maintenance...

Our hosting company is doing some upgrades, which means we may be unreachable for a 20 minute window some time between 9pm and 1am (Central Time) this week. I'm working with the company to schedule a time so I can give you all a more accurate window.

Anyway, if we become unreachable, don't panic; go check on your pantry, repack your bugout bag, or just go to bed early

We will just assume the worst and believe that the entire staff has been eaten.

[RickOShea]

Put the "ZS has switched to a totally Facebook format" notice back up.

[jnathan]

One is none and two is one, but four admins spread out over three separate states should be at least two.

Whenever ZS is down, i just figure that the admins/mods are just on a super secret mission and have to shut down the forum to prevent epic shenanigans.

Having three of the four site admins in the same car last week with the nerd dial turned up to 11 was a pretty decent strategic risk for the forums, in retrospect. We were nerding it up so hard I almost ran a red light.

While talking about traffic light modulators.

Blow up da book of face!

What's this "almost" shit? Pulling a California stop 5 feet past the line does not count as a stop.

The irony was not lost on me.

I do NOT need to hear this. What you're saying is I'm just one errant beer truck away from going into ZS withdrawal. One of you needs to retreat from society and run these forums from your fortified basement.

[maldon007]

Yeah, no more of that... Admins always in separate, armored cars, with at least 100 yards between!

You have any idea what happens about 0315 my time that I can't get to ZS to save my life?

That's getting pretty annoying.

QFT.

Some of us reload the active topics page near constantly, I've noticed the site goes wonky around that time.

Had we been using our true geek powers, we'd have triggered the modulator just before Crypto almost ran the light. Now then... wasn't I going to buy some stuff based upon that conversation?

That's our lowest traffic time, so that's when we back up all the databases and upload them to our offsite data storage.

Roger. It is pretty empty here around that time. Maybe that's a hint...

[northernxposure]

Awaiting scheduled time to commence panic.

We are GO for panic.

[Cerealkiller]

Has panic time already happened or is the launch clock still counting down?

[Jeriah]

They never even said what day, did they?

Hey, I just realized that I've lived in Pacific, Eastern, and Central Time Zones. I need to move to Colorado. Someone find me a job there. Teaching art. At a college. Full time.

[whisk.e.rebellion]

Bump with timeframe.

[Cerealkiller]

Thankfully I'll have my trusty survival guide ya know in case something happens within that half hour and I can't come here to reference. lol

[crypto]

Ya'll should just go somewhere else while ZS is down and get all the debating about Health Care Reform out of your systems.

[duodecima]

Eh, I've been meaning to go to bed before 11 for the last couple nights (worked 2 overnights, need to reset and catch up) and ZS keeps interfering and keeping me up past midnight. Maybe I'll actually catch up on sleep instead tonite.

[Cerealkiller]

It's 2 till 11 by my clock and we're still alive.
