IMPORTANT - Site Maintenance 21/01/09 22:00 - 08:00

[RacingPete]

We are undertaking our second major infrastructure change for PistonHeads as part of our speeding up the server campaign (not the catchiest of campaign names). This means we are having to do a major upgrade on the database servers which will require taking down all the interactive functionality of the site and presenting you with a pretty single page for around 10 hours. You can still visit the site but I don't think it will have the same appeal during that period.

Sorry for any problems or inconvenience this causes but it will be worth it!

The planned outage will be

Wednesday 21/01/09 @ 22:00 to Thursday 22/01/09 @ 08:00

Television Choices to keep you entertained recommended by the PH Team during this time are:
22:00 - BBC2 - QI
22:50 - Channel 4 - Dave Gorman in America Unchained
23:05 - Channel 5 - Warzone
23:35 - ITV - Carling Cup Highlights
00:50 - BBC2 - Bowls Extra

Oi, RacingPete. 'Tis my birthday tomorrow, can't you do it on Thursday instead.

[Kaelic]

Thanks Pete

Shows true style that you give us alternative entertainment whilst we wait for you to press the on button

[Nic Jones]

Any chance you could start it at 10am tomorrow and then finish 10 am Thursday instead? It's just I have an exam on Thursday morning so could do with not coming on at all.

Many thanks.

Ta. might be worth a watch that. Trouble is, having watched it, where are we all going to go to bh about Dave Gorman, how shoddily made the program was, how we would have done it loads better if PH isnt there?

Simple my old fiscal facility procuring friend, We Shall have to invade 10/10ths for the evening

[plasticpig]

Anyne fancy opening a book on what the actual outage will be

[Mannginger]

Love the TV schedule - good attention to detail!

Can I suggest a story on the front page though as not everyone may pick up on this sticky? (They can get a bit "invisible" after a while)
