Oh come on. You can still hop onto Neowin IRC and pass the time while the site is upgraded, you know.

nah I don't like IRC :p

I'll just sit here and cut myself!

IRC? GTFO.

Only used to use that for some "stuff" back in the day ;)

Saturday would've been a better day spending the night with the girl then. Now I'll need to play World of Warcraft all day tomorrow instead of having my moderating crew follow me waiting for me to slip up :shiftyninja: I know you guys are onto me! :alien:

The upgrade will be worth it though (Y)

[insomniac9]

Looking forward to the upgraded site. Good luck, hope everything goes well.

[Growled Member]

I guess it's IRC and making a new sig for me tomorrow.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

To IRC, and beyond!

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Lol now there's an influx of people on IRC, I'm sure that the IRC will stay at a higher population afterwards as well as the new visitors will decide to stay :p

[iamawesomewicked]

under 12 hours!

11 hours and 17 minutes

I'd laugh if the upgrade screwed up for some reason. Like a server outage halfway through.

... Wait.

... Maybe that's the little evil Leprechaun talking.

[Duality]

Just checked out the new mobile site... to be honest that is worth the wait for the relaunch in itself :D

and everyone lost 10,000 posts even the people with less then 100!

*cries*

I am btw noting my post count when I go to bed tonight because you never know ;)

[morebaker]

I'm not a big fan of IRC but I want to keep up with what is going on.

[Rappy Veteran]

yeah what Growled above reminded me to ask...you got the live tweeting thing or cover it live gadget working?

[Maple Arrow]

I'm not a big fan of IRC but I want to keep up with what is going on.

I'm going to take a stab at it:

user1: NO!!! Why is the Neowin site down??
user2: Did you not read the announcements? They said it was going to be down.
user1 bursts into tears
user1: When is it going to be back??
user2: Later.
user1: When later?
user2: I repeat, did you not read the announcements? They said it might take around 12 hours.
user1: Oh.

That pattern will continue, some user asks "Why is Neowin down?" Then when they get the answer, "When will it be back up?"

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

At least unlike other sites Neowin is giving the users this ability... not to mention just getting in alone takes a certain level of skill that not all the users will have so it will at least weed out some of it.

[vincent]

Everyone join IRC!

[Maple Arrow]

I'm probaby going to spend this downtime playing with GIMP.

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

most likely i will actually be sleeping/working through most of it.

[ChrizzMan]

I'll have to join in tomorrow during the upgrade downtime. :)

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

what are the chances of it being done before 3pm? :p i will be bored on my lunch break (3-4pm) otherwise

We have a channel topic for a reason, you know. ;)
