Downtime tonight (Thurs 25th) - 10.30pm - New Server coming hooray

Hello all,

Mumsnet will be down tonight from 10.30pm (not 10.00 pm as previously advertised) while YetMoreTech and BigTech fiddle in the shed to get our shiny new server up and running. Many apologies for the inconvenience but hopefully it will mean the end to the night-time go-slows you've all been heroically enduring.

(Fingers crossed they don't break it!)

no pizza? they will keel over in five minutes. Spoddy boys live on refined flour and sugar! You clearly haven't thought this through

Have you got an MNHQ Zombie Plan? ... I mean, if you kill Mumsnet, then reanimate its corpse ... who knows ...

Yes well, that's why we didn't get you involved MP...

In my experience... maybe 8 weeks? Migration is hellish

I hope you have a supply of pizza, doughnuts and cans of Stella for them?

I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take and didn't like to ask in case Techs thought I was nagging... but hey how long can it take to switch off, upload and switch on again... if they're any good?

DEAR ME IT IS SLOW TONIGHT

are you running this old lady into the ground?

(I mean the server BTW, not myself)

psychomum5 · 25/09/2008 21:24

just in case you understand, before you all vilify me.....

theultimatethreadkiller · 25/09/2008 21:13

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo! Margo don't say that!
(the ceasing o exist bit, not the nest of vipers bit. the latter is true.)

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 25/09/2008 20:46

Anyway, if it all goes pearshaped and MN ceases to exist from tonight on, it's been nice knowing you all. You nest of vipers.

differentID · 25/09/2008 20:29

do we have an estimated time of resurrection, oh prophet of glad tidings, aka justine?

psychomum5 · 25/09/2008 20:22

just wondering................

have you lined up many councellers ready for when we all the addicted ones start with the DT's.

4andnotout · 25/09/2008 20:14

Eeek, a night without mumsnet???
Thankfully i'm already pregnant so that is off my list......

Fortunately , we were up all night with a baby with the screaming abdabs, so I will be going to bed early. There will NOT be any more Wilferines adding to the chaos in 9 months time.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 25/09/2008 19:23

dd will be pleased that it went down - I've been earning her some kinzcash on webkinz!
