Forum Downtime Tomorrow : Othor Games

» Mon Sep 07, 2009 5:08 pm

Between 2-5 PM tomorrow, the forums will be closed so that we can change the coding to UTF8. We're hoping that this will help with the problems that have been brought up re: long posts getting errors -- a common error particularly in our fan fiction boards.

We hope to have everything up and running in less than three hours. As soon as everything's good to go, we'll get the boards back up.

The rest of this thread is to be used on forum downtime haikus. Begin now!

At last some respite
From my digital prison
Now to do some work

Good enough?

Bethesda, MD
Does not run on GMT
Instead subtract five

Which means that it'll be between 7-10 for us Brits. Sorry, I dunno how to say that last bit as a poem...

EDIT: Although at the moment the UK and the Eastern states are both in daylight saving time, so neither of us are on GMT

I hope this is eastern US time as I will be at work anyway.

Ban Hammer to clean
Hey lusty Argonian maid
Start polishing it.

Forum cut-backs mean we don't get new ones when the old ones wear out so we have to look after them.

Try soaking it in the fluids of the banned, I hear that helps it project the sound of tortured screams and shattered souls as you swing it.

Or club soda...

Bethesda fixes many bugs,

No Bethesda soon
With no distractions in sight
Time to spam Rohugh

Edit: I think it's now in proper haiku form

Forum down again?
Better make it worthwhile now,
Or I will kill y'all.

If that is the case,
I'll be sleeping over this mess,
not knowing any different.

...I doubt that counts as a haiku, though

More forum downtime
is not a fun thing to have
but it is needed

I wish you all luck
on updating the forums
to make it better

You don't know much about haiku, do you?

None of the forum skins we've all made will be effected, right? :unsure:

Downtimes worry me
For the breakage that follows
more problems arise
