ATTN: Server Maintenance Today (3/27/2012)

Later today, between the hours of 9:30 PM and 10:30 PM, the discussion board will be offline for some maintenance on our services.

The window may be more, or less, depending on how quickly everything goes.

Affirmative...

I don't know about that. Remember when they announced the SOPA blackout? There were still threads about people freaking out, even when they told us what was going to happen in advanced.

I guess I'll have to find something to do while waiting for my ATS fix

Thanks for the heads up.

is that like 6pm PST or something?

Thanks for the heads up i would have been in a panic not know what was going on peace,sugarcookie1

Not only that, the SOPA/ATS alert page that was put up outlined what was going on too.

Hmmmm.....I wonder what kind of trouble the denizens of ATS can get into with all of that free time.
Muahaha

Skeptic....what time zone are you talking about?

Thank you for the heads up, SO, but there is some ambiguity about the time zone for the scheduled maintenance. Your clarification would be much appreciated.

Sorry... eastern time.

The board will go offline in about 40 minutes from this post (give or take), in preparation for the maintenance.

Haha! I just don't want to be forced to watch another crappy housewives show, or crap show from new jersey. ATS is my outlet while my wife watches that crap!

ATS was offline for 30 minutes!

I was seriously frightened. Now I feel an odd sense of relief...

ah feel your 'pain' brotha.

i'd rather have to recite the entire ascii, hex, dec, html table outloud than to have to watch any of those faux, fake, fraud and scripted 'reality' shows.

...even ATS comes closer to 'reality', at times, than they do.

I guess it's late at night in the UK but still prime time in much of the largest ATS user market in the US so I am questioning the wisdom of the planned outtage. Maybe it was an emergency. I don't know. Glad to see ATS is back.

I'm watching a new episode of Doomsday Preppers. I almost missed the whole outtage.

Kudos for a job quickly performed. I don't know how long it was down as I whiled away the time on char but it wasn't long at all.
