Server change is finally happening

I know the unnamed said it would be random as to when it would switch.

I logged on yesterday and there had been 56 posts in the mine in past 24 hours.

My grandson and I were playing with my cell phone one day, taking pics of eyeballs. And there's an old church hymn "There's an all-seeing eye watching you". I was wondering if it freaked anyone out. lol

What other site?
Every site on my favorites bar loads just fine.

eh it is what it is

The very notion of putting a site in fake-dumb-pretend-server-down mode like that for a server migration makes me itch all over.

Details?

meh

Your able to connect to the forums, someone went on the back end and clicked the "Maintenence Mode" button to lock users out. You don't turn the old one off until the new one is up and running and happy and the record changes are set. No reason to at all. When the change starts taking effect (meaning some folks are connecting to the new instance), you lock the old forums so that you don't have data mismatch, no reason to do it earlier :/. These three-four day 'downtimes for server migration' are just silly. Get it working, don't interfere with the 'live' service until you absolutely have to.

Why is this news worth talking about? This is unimportant.

Exactly what I was thinking whoots.
