Downtime scheduled for this Saturday, June 14th
Democratic Underground will be unavailable for several hours starting around 9pm EDT Saturday evening. We are upgrading to a brand new database server that is much more powerful than our current database server in order to prepare for the increased traffic we expect for the general election, as well as the increased traffic we've already seen this primary season.
Unfortunately, we will have to shutdown the site in order to transfer all the data over to the new server. We expect that this process could take anywhere from 4 - 8 hours to complete, but it could potentially take less or more time.
Thank you for your patience while we do this work. The new server will mean increased speed and performance for everyone, as well as less time spent at level 1 and above.
The above posted for informational purposes only; there's some primitive comments at the bonfire, but they're not worth the depreciation, the wear-and-tear, on the keyboard to bring them here.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if something unforeseen happened? :evillaugh:
