Boards shutting down tonight; how long?

Just curious about the little notation at the top of the page, since it doesn't say when the boards will be back up. Can someone give us a ballpark estimate at least, please?

I've never personally done a database backup - but I wouldn't be surprised if that alone takes an hour or two. Then I have to install a hack that allows polls to be hidden from everyone but admins - this will be used for the ENnies voting.

No ETA on the nominations - We're just preparing the system as early as possible.

Cool, thanks!

Ok I vastly overestimated the time required.
