Yes, thank god. I had to *gasp* find other things to do other than screw around on the computer all day.

are they going to go back to maintenance tonight at midnight CST?

Of course they did. Only forum I know that needs to shut down several hours once a week for maintenance.

And then again even after a whole day of being shut down for maintenance.

LMFAO after being down for like 12 hours for maintenance, and only being up for like an hour, the forum was shut down again for nearly two hours for maintenance. I have never seen another forum that required so much maintenance.

Yeah, they should just get rid of the regular maintenance since it doesn't work. Then we would only have the regular unplanned downtime.

Incompetent admins. Daylong downtime is not acceptable.
If you're dissatified with the forums, we'll gladly refund your money. Do note however that customers who receive refunds are considered bad customers and are banned from the forums... ;)

LOL

...and this is supposed to be a tech-savvy forum, too. :awe:

yeah.. what I don't understand if they're moving locations is:
1) backup everything
2) load the backup to the new machines in the new location way b4 the move
3) test

if everything works, then on xfer day:
1) shutdown anandtech.com
2) backup everything
3) load the backup to the new machines at new location
