Server downtime on Saturday, March 31st

Post by Unas »

Hi everyone,

My host and I are planning a server maintenance operation for today, Saturday March 31st, sometime between 9am and 12 CEST.

This downtime shouldn't affect too many people, given this time span is the one when AAO gets fewer visits, but still - if you happen to login at that time and notice AAO is down, don't panic ! (in big friendly letters :-) )

Sorry for not warning about this earlier !

Also, a second maintenance operation will happen in the next few days, though the date isn't known as of now.

Those who didn't recognise the reference to The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy should be ashamed of their lack of culture, by the way :-P

Yeah. As usual, it took much longer than expected, but nothing bad happened, and we're back :-)

Yeah, it looks like that maintenance on the server crashed both BP and Mono.

(Didn't you know they were just bots I installed to make the community more lively ? ;-) )

Just quickly notifying everyone that the second operation will happen on Saturday April 7th between 9am and 12 CEST. If it doesn't take longer than expected of course, which it will probably do :-P
