Due to unforeseen technical difficulties we've encountered in the admin panel during the past few days, the forums will be taken offline to perform critical maintenance at 0800 GMT on Wednesday, 06.06.07.
While the forums are offline for ordinary visitors, we plan to inspect, feed, and possibly replace some of the twelve thousand hamsters we employ to work in giant hamster wheel electrical generators to power to the admin panel, remove the thick layer of dust currently covering the floors of our forum dungeons, renegotiate Arrow's employment contract as well as return the comfy pillows, currently residing in the Burrow (moderators, enough already, you know those pillows don’t belong to you!), to their proper locations.
We do expect the forums to return to normality* in under 48 hours after the downtime begins, but due to the complex nature of the planned maintenance we cannot exclude a two-week holiday for all of you just yet. Updates will appear here as the maintenance progresses.

Staff: see section 42 of the moderator handbook, subsection 13c.
* Note that due to the nature of our information storage facilities (read: hamsters that remember stuff while providing electrical power for the forums), we can not guarantee that all of your posts, signatures, avatars, post counts, ranks, user groups, moderating privileges, private messages, passwords, sanity, e-mail addresses, private messages, private ranks, hidden stashes of gold, oversized signature images, pre-selected forum avatars, news posts, anything I’ve forgotten, space filter material, statements of doubt regarding short attention span and long meaningless lists written in an obnoxiously small font obviously intended to get read anyway, other passwords, yet more hitherto unknown privileges, and/or accounts whose usernames start with letters K, J, H, R or W will make it through unscathed. The effect of a lack of forum exposure has not been certified by the FDA. May cause restlessness or drowsiness in lab animals. Do not check if the forums are back online while operating machinery. The wait may be too intense for some visitors. Do not eat the forums. The forums are not a toy. If we never see each other again, good luck!
Will you stop with the honour stuff?
