I thought it would be fun to differentiate it from the unplanned downtime. You know, so that wags like you could make humorous comments.

*wags the kitty*

i usually post/rail about the unplanned downtimes all over the internet.

visit a few other D&D sites and you'll know what i'm talking about.

Oh, I dunno - nothing quite like an unplanned emergency, or an unintentional accident, like we say at work. Hey, if we can control the server-itis by inducing it beforehand (kind of like labor), I say go for it.

well that was wierd.

You know, it would be wonderfully ironic to schedule some "planned downtime," and then not bring the site down, so for the duration of the "planned downtime," you instead get "unplanned uptime."

Thankfully, I was not drinking anything when I was reading that post!

And talk about it on Dragonsfoot...

(Sad - one of the longest threads on DF is about ENworld! )

Cheers!

I could make a joke about how similar ENworld and DF are to Greyhawk Cosmology, but I'd get lynched by a bunch of AD&D'ers wielding fauchard-forks and 6-turn torches...
