Quick announcement!

[owlmoose]

Hey folks,

Just a heads-up for anyone who planned to post today that Archive of our Own is down for maintenance for much of today, but it is projected to be back online in 12 hours. For more details, see this post on the official OTW blog.

If anything further comes up, we will let you know. Thanks!

--Update, 5pm Thursday, Pacific Time--

AO3 is still down for maintenance. If the update proceeds according to the announced schedule, it will come back around midnight, Eastern Standard Time. Please note, however, that signups for Yuletide will begin shortly after that, which will bring heavy traffic to the site and may affect site performance. If you see issues with connections or slowness, please be patient! Your story will upload eventually, we promise.

So basically I broke AO3. AWESOME. XD

They been planning the deploy to get Rails 3 up for awhile now! It should make the archive more responsive, so we can all go READ the story that broke the archive. ;)

I have the most horrible luck when trying new technologies, meaning they tend to stop working and then I'm faced with some angry developer asking "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" Especially at work. XD

So for AO3 to go down within a few hours of me posting there for the first time...paranoia, I has it. :)

But yay to upgrades and making things go faster!
