All Neocodex services except for the forum will be offline starting at 1:00am PST, August 15th and will persist until 10:00am PST on August 16th (so that is a 33 hour downtime).
The following will NOT work:
Programs login (CodexChex)
Downloads System
Items Database Frontend on the forum
NeoLogs, NeoAlerts, Neo-anything
Any other custom stuff
What WILL work:
Programs if you log into them beforehand (even Abrosia, the ItemDB API will still be online)
The barebones Forum
The reason that we are doing this is that we need to determine what is using so much CPU on the server, and we want to rule out our custom modifications and any of our custom services. We have narrowed it down to something in the forum, that much is certain. Unfortunately, server CPU usage reports are done on a 24 hour period marked at 7 am, and none of us are free to do maintenance at that time, so we're starting early tomorrow morning (1 am), and then bringing things back online when we're around the following day (10 am).
If you want to run programs in this time, PLEASE PRE-AUTHENTICATE THEM by loading the program, signing into the codexchex, and then leaving the copy open on your computer until you want to use it.
Do this for all the ones you want to run in that time, because if the program closes you won't be able to re-authenticate until the site is fully up again.
Again, we will compensate those who purchased an Advanced Membership fairly for this inconvenience.
Once we figure out what is using the CPU, perhaps the 500 internal server error bugs will also stop.
