New Jersey Scheduled Maintenance - 2023-03-07
02/24/23 7:58 pm UTC

Event Type: Network Upgrade

We are performing system changes in the New Jersey location during the following scheduled maintenance window.

Start Time: 2023-03-07 04:55:00 UTC
End Time: 2023-03-07 08:55:00 UTC

We schedule higher impact maintenance events during off-peak times to reduce impact to customer infrastructure. Our engineers make every effort to minimize system impact, however, network reachability to New Jersey instances may be affected for some, or all, of the scheduled maintenance window as we perform this work. While it’s important to be aware of start and end times of the maintenance window, due to our redundant network architecture, our engineers expect that you may see little to no impact at all while the work is performed.

 

This thread has gotten boring and repetitive. What should we do to liven it up?

 

Order pizza?

We schedule higher impact maintenance events during off-peak times to maintain our ideal hosting environment. Our engineers make every effort to minimize system impact; however, New Jersey instances may be unreachable for some, or all, of the scheduled maintenance window as we perform network, firmware, or host upgrades.

 

Not on Star Wars Day! What kind of nonsense is this? If the boards go down on May the Fourth Day, WE WILL RIOT!!!

 

Hopefully they won't go down. I have informed Philip and our server admin of the maintenance as well. Also the maintenance times are pretty early.

 

I'm kidding.

(...mostly )

 

If the boards crash, we'll all have to meet up in NJ.

Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth

Well now everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

 

Yes - we were down.
No - it wasn't scheduled.
Not sure why - it's going to be a few hours til our Server Admin can check. Philip rebooted things and that seems to have fixed it (for now).

 

It was me, but I've done far worse than crash the boards. I've hurt the boards. And I wish to go on hurting boards. I shall leave the boards as they left me, as they left REDACTED BANNED USER NAME; marooned for all eternity in the center of the bugged software... buried alive! Buried alive...!

 

IIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAATTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for getting it back up so quickly today.

 

Luckily the reboot seems to have fixed it - for now, anyway.

Not my call, unfortunately. Most of these maintenance periods haven't caused outages - hopefully that will be the case here. However if things are down at least people will have been forewarned.

 

Hey don’t reveal my plans of my past self.
