board downtime
Seems like I check these threads incessently these days. I noticed when I tried this morning (last night U.S. time) that the boards were down for a db merge. Of course I understand this is necessary due to the new server. But...it could pose serious problems for timing issues. I think at the very least downtime should be added to the 72 hours for anyone who's clock is already ticking. If the boards were down for 8 hours, and I happened to be going to work or away from the computer for the 16 hours immediately following that, I would be hosed for a full day because they happened to be down in the only slot when I could use them. Of course, there is an email to send stories to as well, but I can say I personally havent written it down yet, and since it's posted on the boards, if the boards are down, I don't know what I would do. I guess I should go write down that email now
