Yeah. We should definitely add something about the PM system going down.

Anyways, why is the PM system going down? Are we finally adopting that new and improved PM system that Janitor's been developing?

Needs a headline at minimum if core wiki functionality will be affected.

Wait, are P Ms gonna be disabled as long as maintenance goes on, or something else?

I thought P Ms were separate from the forum, so why are we doing that?

[up] My guess is because the same hardware change that's affecting the forums is affecting them as well.

An announcement that "the forums are back up" would probably be good.

[up] From what I've so far seen, an announcement isn't needed. Apparently tropers have a sixth sense that tells them to randomly click the forum button (that's how several people, me included, learned the fora were back up).

[up]Yep; that's how I found it.

Naturally, it's time to go to bed. -_-

Apparently a quicker way to do it was smacking the servers twice instead of once.

Really? I was going to spend the day doing something constructive! Now I have to lurk on the forums all day instead. Thanks a lot!

Well, it took an hour and a half, not a half hour. The less-smart way would have taken 18 hours.

Got to say, I was mighty shocked to be able to get my TV tropes fix on my lunch break! Well done Eddie, there can be no denying that that was superb to get it done so fast!

There's a reason why you're called "Fast" Eddie. wink

Okay, ha ha. I think I'll close this thread as it's lived out its useful life, pending more database overhauls from the Fast One.
