Let's just hope that the image isn't a representation of what will happen during the said upgrade.

Reminds us of this, doesn’t it?

Sounds like the backup thing will be done hours before the upcoming offical Episode this Saturday so no worries from me

Hm. You know, it might be a fun challenge to take it down exactly 4 hours before the airing of the new episode. It would be one of those cool suspense building moments! 

@LadyMercury sound like a fun plan?

That picture doesn't look promising...

[RDDash 18,026]

Well, I can survive for 4 hours, no problem.

I don't even come here often

[Treeglow Flicker 12,074]

I came for the notification and stayed for the image.

[Sunny Fox 5,894]

Funny, I kept reading it as "Planned Outrage Notification"!  If you're gonna be outraged, I guess letting people know about it ahead of time is just good manners.

Downtime during fashion week darling? How dreadful.

[CloudMistDragon 6,149]

tfw when you misread "outage" as "outrage" 

Coincidentally, September 6 this Friday is when I'll be busy moving into my new place. Of course, I always miss the good stuff. 

[Totally Lyra 34,893]

Is Jeric framing Derpy for breaking things again? D:

[Dark Horse 12,588]

Downtime on the Forums is my uptime for some sneaky rearrangements.

One question: Do you hit things with a wrench when you do these things? 

[BoopMan 2,097]

Would love to chat in the server but permabanned unfortunately. Oh well.

Hey, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!

[HeavenSunset 1,849]

I'm GMT...I'll have to sit there for the 4 hours

[Twilight Luna 30,122]

So, is this another in a long list of things that we can blame @Jeric on?

[Quinch 1,115]

I think we can knock the downtime down to three.

[Splashee 28,472]

4 hours is nothing nowadays.
Finally we are going to get a fix for 502... ... no

Closing as we are done. If anything out of the ordinary happens please complete a Site Question thread
