Scheduled Maintenance 8/3 at 6am

***meissen*** · 08-02-2012, 08:33 PM

Hey guys,

I have to do a few changes to the back end of the server which should only take about 5-10 minutes. I'm going to plan for about 6am EDT tomorrow morning (Friday, 8/3). I'm figuring that's going to be the best time of the day to take the site offline for a few minutes without affecting too many people. Please do not be alarmed if you try to visit the site and it's temporarily unavailable around that time tomorrow morning.

Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding!

Im very rusty on many things but for security reasons....Jist like buying a nee home... the keys were given to us but u never really know how many copies are still out there so the site basically had to go off line for a little so Brian could do his magic and basically change all the locks to our "house"

TapaTalk ROCKS!!!!

Yeah, just some quick backend changes to passwords and what not. Nothing major, but once you change the password to one thing it affects everything else. Thankfully it turned out to be rather easy - I was expecting to have to reboot the server or individual things that were running on the server but the password change script took care of all of that.
