Yes we are actually planning a downtime this time We are going to upgrade the forum software to the latest version. As for the time that the downtime will be, its when ever me and shadow decide to get out of bed and get to work on this. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that it will be a 6 hour adventure (accounting for any errors we may come to)...
Now, the important thing is that the programs should not go down during this, the 2 systems (forum and api) are almost completely independent and should not cause interference when things go down for the forum. That being said, there are always un-forseen circumstances in which the programs will go down and you will be SOL for a few hours Oh noes!
Anyways, i just thought i should let you all know
