Time for some upgrades, and this one is big on the processing time. Testing on the development servers is done, and final tuning on the templates is set.

This upgrade will take a bit longer due to database modifications, it means rebuilding the entire threads database (700K threads). Testing on a cloned database (11M+ posts), took 3 hours, 10 minutes of raw processing time alone. I'm estimating 4-hours max downtime for the entire conversion and update.

Upgrade will start at midnight Pacific Time and be done by 4am the morning of 08 October 2006. This one will be worth it, and YES it looks like this will certainly fix some of the major problems we've had with the ailing search feature.

So, what are you to do during this maintenance time?

How about clicking on some of those sexy banners at the top and bottom of the GFY pages to see how those sponsors can make you some money!!!
