Expect slowness and downtime over the next few days
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=announcement&id=33

We are preparing DU for a major hardware upgrade to take place this week. Starting today (Sunday Jan. 11) and continuing up until the upgrade is complete, DU may experience periods of reduced performance and downtime while I prepare everything and transfer data back and forth.

Please be patient while we do this, I promise it will be worth it once the upgrade is complete, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks,

LOL RatTerrier. Heh. With the way some DUers are getting themselves in trouble with the new warning system, they might zap themselves even faster. ;-)

7. Appreciate the heads-up, elad...
Hmm -- "slowness and downtime" -- sounds like a normal mid-January just about anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere!

15. Hi elad. I have a question...
Is this present slowdown due to the server upgrade or to the ISP problem that Skinner posted about?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=announcement&id=35

Thanks in advance and good luck on the upgrade! :hi:

16. The present problems are due to what Skinner posted about
We're still working on the upgrade in the meantime though.
