Fair enough, these things need doing. Will the downtime affect any of the scheduled live discussion threads? There was meant to be a group watch of that new UAP documentary on Saturday evening and I know a few people were planning to post reactions in real time - would be a shame if the site went down right in the middle of that.
Also worth asking, is there any estimate on how long the maintenance window will actually be? "Saturday night" is pretty vague. If its a couple of hours thats manageable but if it runs into Sunday morning that could catch people out, especially members from different time zones who might not see this announcement.
Probably worth pinning this to the top of every subforum not just site announcements, a lot of regulars never check in here.
