Here, Later On - Well folks, it’s that time again. Time to upgrade the site. This doesn’t mean much to you front page dwellers we love so much, as it is just a security upgrade for Wordpress and will not be adding any new features that I know of. For all of you truly deviant members of the forums, this is a giant upgrade as it does add a lot of new features. I have started backing up everything just in case, as these upgrades are known to break shit from time to time.
Here is a brief list of just a few of the highlights included in the vBulletin 3.7 upgrade.
I expect no real issues with the Wordpress upgrade, but I highly expect issues with the forum, We will see, though. Luckily, no matter the problem, it is all fixable, it just may require time and me cussing. A lot. The schedule should go something like this:
12:00 a.m. EST
Front page closed and upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 -Done!
12:30 a.m. EST
Front page re-opened and Forums closed down and upgraded to vBulletin 3.7
God knows when (turns out, it was 3:30 a.m.)
I breathe a sigh of relief as the forums are brought back up and everything is running smoothly….or I cry out in anguish and curl up in a ball in the corner.
Yup. sounds about right. This post will be used for progress and such, in case anyone is actually up during that time. If ALL hell breaks loose, I will use Twitter to update everyone, so make sure you are following us. You can also use the Myspace page or email if you need to contact myself, imp or swivel if we are down.

I have awaken to find that the apocalypse did NOT occur and the place where I spend 99% of my day still exists! I can live on.
Will they take these razors back at the drugstore since I didn’t have to use them after all? I guess I’ll see as soon as I wash this X-marks the spot off my wrists and the “Temporary” sign off my forehead.
