    Remember everyone tonight, Sunday January 9, 2005 PC will be shut down at approx 23:00 (11:00PM) PST (that's west coast USA time) GMT -8 for an update to our vB.

    During this time you'll recieve a message saying PC is down/closed for maintanence and to try later.. the update should take approx an hour..
    After the update, any hacks/modifications we had, may or may not be availble to use, but we'll re-add them as soon as we can.

    Staff and admins: DO NOT USE THE BOARD DURING THIS TIME PLEASE

    Post any comments and concerns?
     
    Will the boards be updating to 3.0.4 or 3.0.5??? I didnt get the deal with them being released so close.

    Also what times are those for central time?
     
    Aww, I want to spam up the board while it's down. It could be our little admin playground! ^_^

    Teasing. None I can think of…do you have the report hack ready incase it breaks, to reinstall?
     
    This shouldn't alter currents threads/post count etc. Correct?
     
    Ooh, that would be irritating if it would eh?
     
    It won't have any effect on postcounts or any other database related items.
     
    Nah, it's an upgrade. Upgraders are designed to keep everything intact. The only things that may be affected are certain hacks, like Steve and Abby said.

    But, you know, this isn't such an important deal that we need an announcement on it. There may be several more releases coming after this, are we going to make announcements for each one of those? Like you said, it only takes an hour. We can live without PC for an hour. o.O
     
    If Steve does it right, by doing the modificications by hand, nothing should be broken at all.
     
    Oh allright, just making sure ^^ thats good.
     
    Weee, an upgrade, sounds exciting. =D I do like it when we get upgrades, it's nice that you all keep PC up to date, it just makes PC a better place to be. ^o^

    NO SPAM ^__^*
    Nope i have NO hacks ready nor am i gonna worry about them just yet.. my fist priority is securing PC (and my server) the hacks and mods will come later - you admin/prea's can help with that if you want.

    No data, short of the back-end files, will be affected. You're posts, post counts, profiles, etc will not change.

    it'll be to 3.0.5, a critical security update from 3.0.4
    Ummmm, about 21:00 (9:00PM) CST or around there. You'll all know when as the forum will display the maintinace message and not allow you to enter.
     
    I can't help remembering when the database screwed up at SPP and everyone had to reregister and everything. It's funny looking back at it with hyancide, but it certainly wasn't funny then XD Hopefully that shouldn't happen here... I think o.o

    To work out the time when PC'll come down, just add or subtract the number of hours from the GMT exact time of 7:00am. So... people in Western Europe such as France and Germany would be 8:00 and etc ^_^
     
    So, PC is getting an upgrade? Sounds cool. Will PC be changed in any way? Amd it's good that our post counts, profiles and all that data will remain the same. I guess PC will be a lot better later than it is now, right?
     
    an upgrade shuld be fun! *thinks what PC will be like with an upgrade*
    so, no one can post during that time, rite?

    edit: ohh yes, what time will this be in CST? ^^'
     
    If you need to find out the exact time, it's about 10 hours and 43 minutes from now. ^^;
     
    I have no idea what the time will be in B.C. I go by EST. But I'm guessing it'll be after 7:00 pm. Besides, today I'm only allowed on until like 7:00 pm anyway.
     
    Hmmmm...
    I Probably Won't Be On At That Time So It's Fine...
    Anyways An Upgrade?
    Cool!
    Hope It Brings Cool Features!
     
    It's fine to me, I have the time at GMT-6, so 11:00 PM plus two hourse it will be at 1:00 AM to me, no problem with that, I will asleep when the upgrade happens, tomorrow I have school.
