..another extra hour is okay, too. Question is, why an hour?? Heck, let's take the whole evening/afternoon off. It'll relieve you of doing the moderating.
I think most, if not all, of BCers NEED to get away or even go out & play some baddy, anyway. Or finally do some work..
As a matter of fact, a few of these server maintenance/per month is not a bad idea at all...hmm..

Hahaha... Yes, I will be with rackets and shuttlecocks on the Badminton courts for the next 8 hours after the server is down.

I guess Kwun's anticipating the potential explosion the TC/UC might cause to the server. A good idea to prep ahead of time. I guess we've become so spoilt these days that we expect no lag time while on BC [thumbs up]

well, yeah. totally. just in case the extreme high traffic causes the server to overload and burn up in smoke, we will at least still have some data retained.

...esp. you guys in the Asia region. Tomorrow (tonight, U.S. time), you guys will be out on your lunch break anyway, around 12 or 1 o'clock. By the time you guys come back from lunch, the server will be up and running again...

...i'm looking fw to a new record of the most users to this site; current record is 1,445, this yr.

Looking for 2 new records:
1) # of users at any one time
2) # of posts in 1 day

...It's true, records are meant to be shattered...

And are we expecting a record no. of PAWers in this TC & UC edition??....Oh wait, wrong guy...i think only Sandy is keeping track of that number...

Don't quote me but I think we had 60+ for one PAW SS. Yes, Sandy would be able to verify that.

...year's Thomas & Uber Cups will be a pretty good test for BC in preparation for the upcoming Olympics...First couple of dry runs will probably occur during the first couple days of competitions.

[george@chongwei]

so that means its still got about 40 mins for me to check this forum!!
hurry up!!!

[ants]

I hope the servers can manage the loads... but i dont think there will be any problem if it didnt go for upgrades.

[kwun]

ok. i am going to start a bit early.

[kwun]

done.

that took longer than i thought. sorry about that... :P
