A major upgrade of our servers will occur this weekend and could result in up to 24 hours downtime.

The new machines should be more than adequate for the year ahead.

All timeouts will be suspended in this period. Timebanks will be compensated too.

No chance of that, too much blood, sweat and tears invested in this project! As long as we can pay the bills, we will be here.
