Hello,

Below is an email from my host regarding upgrades taking place in the next 48 hours or so. This will result in around 3 hours downtime of Forumcoin.com. It does mean that if you see forum coin is down, do not panic! We will be back online within a few hours. I hope you can do without us for a short while

It's WORTH IT!
Still plenty of time to get my fix in for that day.

I am glad I have read this, so I won't be wondering why FC is down. I have not experience any downtime for FC. Thanks for informing us.

As long as it is only a few hours then I think I can survive. I will make sure to check it often so that I will still be able to post on that day. Thanks for giving us a heads up and looking forward to the new upgrades.

Thank cyberfreak for bringing this up and letting us know I like the way you handle stuff. At least once we know this we won't be worried thinking that the site is down well appreciated

[nela13]

Thanks @Cyberfreak for let us know about the downtime, this way we won't be worry thinking about what is going on with the site

[oldbuddy]

THAT'S TOMORROW!

[shamzblueworld]

Its today... don't know if it has already happened or still to happen... because of the time difference.

I think it was already, because I was not able to join FC this morning and I wondered why. Now it's working and I am now aware too why it happened the downtime.

[CyberFreak]

This should be completed now. We were down for just over an hour and everything is back up and working like it should. It shouldn't have caused much inconvenience for any members thankfully.

I suppose it might be worthwhile sharing our Uptime Status report just incase any geeks users (who are FC fanatics ) wish to bookmark it incase you can't access the site and wonder if it is down for everyone and for how long it has been down.

Oh thanks that I saw this for it will not lead me wondering what had happened to this site, it will make me nervous for sure. A site I am always in had a server migration as well and good thing it is up and running at this moment.

[IcyFirefly]

Oh good, it happened while I slept Everything is normal and running smoothly on my end! Thank you!

[Angie10]

Hehe I too missed it altogether. Thank God for time difference I guess LOL Thanks anyway for letting us know, admin

[MeowsePad]

Hopefully this will result in a faster experience browsing the forum, not that it was slow before. XD I missed the downtime as well, so that's neat.
