Political? that's open to interpretation, might just be about a guy talking a walk along the river and in the park.

I don't listen to the Scorpions, so you're OK with me.
Also I don't care about political correctness. People should just be nice to each other, which is not the same thing.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Due to some necessary server maintenance, there will be a short outage sometime after 8PM EST March 3, 2023.
I expect that this will only take 15 minutes but may take longer.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh gawd. You're doing "essential maintenance" on a Friday?
There's a recipe for a long weekend at work ...
Here's hoping you all manage to avoid that!

Rather than a glass of wine, how about a screwdriver?

The backup plan is a hammer. But I see what you did there.

One has to do what one has to do. The rules.
How often does the site go offline for maintenance?
Not many.
I cannot recall the last time.

It's been years. This one is because we have to move our main database to a new file system due to a big cleanup Matthew did. It should only be 10-15 minutes but there was no easy way to keep everything online while we did it so we decided to bite the bullet.
In theory we can actually be without the database for that 15 mins, but we're not going to mess around for that short a period of time.
cheers

Understood. Thanx for working on this. CP is worth it.

That's OK, some of us will be fast asleep then.

The one where they will all be very happy but we can never go visit them?

I trust you to have informed the seismologists so there will be no false alarms about earthquakes when millions of CP members will stomp the ground when CP will be offline for 15...minutes
