DONE: DonationCoder.com Server Maintenance on Nov 13,2009
« on: November 13, 2009, 07:39 PM »
Just a heads-up, the server is going to be down for a brief period the night of Nov 13, 2009 for normal maintenance/update.

IF (and only IF) something goes wrong and the site is down for more than a few hours, we will initiate emergency plan codename "Cody-Savior-Bravo", which will activate our backup form at the url: http://forum.dcmembers.com

Make note of that url should this occur.  And don't panic!

01:53 <@mouser> that was quick
01:53 < Gothi[c]> it's just a reboot..
01:53 < Gothi[c]> i already did all upgrades
01:53 <@mouser> license key generation still works
01:53 < Gothi[c]> but it needed a reboot for udev and pam
01:54 <@mouser> forum seems to work
01:54 < Gothi[c]> check if email works
01:54 <@mouser> good idea
01:55 <@mouser> doing some forum maintenance while we are offline
01:55 < Gothi[c]> ok but if you break anything, don't blame me ;D

Someone needs their mass-emailing privileges suspended while they sit & think about what they have done. :)
