Server Upgrade Today @ 5PM CST - HuskerBoard Will Be Down

[Mavric]

The site is being upgraded to a new server today at 1 PM CST.  This did not get done the other day and they are getting to it now.

It is expected that it will be down for approximately two hours while the upgrade takes place.

Certain posters (me, mostly) will bee freaking out about how many posts they could have been posting while it is down.

Why not upgrade in parallel and just change the DNS pointer? Multi-hour down times just aren't necessary with modern architectures

Is it just me or does this 'upgrade' have a Shawn Eichorst vibe to it?

It sounds like they don't own any of their own hardware and are at the mercy of whomever they contracted with.

This site had to judge itself against something other than the mediocrity of another board.

This apparently didn't get done the other night and will be done today at 1PM CST instead.

Wtf am I supposed to do for 2 hours? Work?

We have now been informed that this has been delayed until about 5:00 pm CST.

I can only assume this is to allow @GSG to get off work.
