Hi all! This is another post about upcoming downtime. If you remember, we were upgrading our main database server in the past few days. Well, it's done, and it's ready to take over running Subeta from the backup database server.
We'll be making the switch tomorrow (the 20th) morning at 6 am Subeta time. According to our graphs, that's the time when the site has the least users on it, so hopefully the downtime will have the least impact.
Estimated time the site will be down is 45 minutes or so. This won't fix any bugs or make the site any faster, but it will help in the long run to make Subeta more stable.
As always, thanks for your patience and support.

I hope this means the site will be faster. I've been avoiding coming here as it takes so long for the pages to load.
