You know, it's pretty damn shitty that we're almost completed with skolas and we all get booted from it because of maintenance. Maintenance during the middle of the day is such a horrible idea. Today may have been my only shot to finish up my year one accomplishments and here you guys go and pull this crap. smgdh

Edited by KannibalKlown: 9/3/2015 3:53:26 PMIt's been on the forums for at least a day, I believe more. A banner on the forums and front page warning of the upcomming outage. Likewise in Twitter it was posted 2 days ago. So... not "out of nowhere" Long maintenance windows for systems that handles hundreds of thousands of people... the argument is often made that it's best to have as many people in the office in case something goes wrong. So some companies do them during their business hours, instead of waking people @ 2AM local-time or paying over-time or whatever. The alternative is usually work-hours during the weekend. But if they did this on a Saturday THE FORUMS WOULD MELT OVER THE ANGER!
