Default Important notice for PBW Users.

The PBW server move is expected to take place Monday May 6th.

Saturday May 4th (Tomorrow!) at some time during the day, can't be more specific, we will be taking it down for up to a few hours for some final preparations. It will come back up on Saturday sometime and should be available all day Sunday for Last minute game playing.

Then on Momday some time it will be going down and will be down for a few days, possibly as long as a week.

Sometime tonight I will be turning off the automatic turn processing. Turns will still process when all players upload or if manually forced to run by the game owner, but will not process due to turn timeout. I will leave this off unitl a few days after the server is back up and running in the new location to make sure nobody loses their turn due to the server being down.

I have now turned off the Automatic turn processing. As I said before, turns will still process if all players upload, and can be processed manually by the game owner if her wishes to. But they will not run becasue the time limit is reached and not everyone has uploaded.

No, you're just mentally disciplined enough to ignore all the hype from the greeting card, gift, and flower industries.

(I had to look at the Calendar to verify the date myself.)

Yes, I am not really sure what is happeing exactly at this moment. Obviously the server did not get taken down as scheduled. Something must have come up at the current data center.

I will let you know when I know.

Ok, I spoke with Admiral. The shutdown was pushed back. Should happen some time this afternoon/evening.

So, uh, whatever happened to shutting down the server on the 6th?? It was still up when I checked approximately 45 seconds ago...
