Monday, July 20th Playnet's player discussion forums will be taken down in order to carry out a major upgrade. KILLER has built a brand new server home for them, loaded with the latest version of vBulletin. The down time will begin at approximately 1pm CDT (GMT -5). The expected down time is expected to last from 4 to 6 hours, barring any issues.  They will be brought back online with limited functionality, new features and tools added gradually once we're sure they'll all work well together.

Once the forums are brought back up, there may or may not be issues with certain permissions, tools and/or settings.  Although we don't expect this to be the case, technology is a fickle mistress and she may decide to throw a wrench into the works to keep us on our toes.  Please feel free to post comments here with any problems you may experience.

Communication with our customers has always been something we value here at Playnet. Our forums are a very important part of that flow of communications.  We appreciate your patience and are hopeful that the new forums will flow smoother than ever.

Oh no... what are the OT guys going to do with themselves? Maybe play the game, do something productive :).

This forum requires you want 24 hours between posts... please :).

OT requires splitting into Awesome (awesome) and Unsome (same old politics) categories. looking forward to it.

The new vBulletin software has a built-in "NOMOXIN" feature that sends each of his posts to 4chan.

If we wanted to create a complete firestorm, we should bring the game servers down at the same time. Oh yes, I am that cruel.

Oh yeah baby! I too want a post counter reset! A fresh restart in life is what most of us need.

Btw, isn't it +5 GMT?

+5 GMT takes you to Islamabad time. I'm sure you don't want to be there.

Good luck with the upgrade, I hope we're not in the dark too long!
Can't wait to see what new features and stability we get with the new server & software. Could we pleeeeaaase cut the search delay down to something reasonable like 10 seconds?
