Downtime Tonight

There will be downtime tonight, June 30th, between 11:58 PM - 12:02 AM EDT. This will include SBC's forums, SBC Music, SpongeCraft, SpongeBob Jeopardy!, and SpongeBob Pictionary. The server will be shut off for those few minutes, so you will not be able to access SBC at all during this time.

 

The reasoning is to prevent any technical failures as a result of tonight's leap second.

 

I apologize for the downtime.

I would like to add that this is a precautionary measure and is in no way reflective on the capabilities of SBC's server or its features. I am simply shutting down the server to prevent anything from happening, not because it's not capable of handling the leap second. I did not write the code for IP.Board, nodejs, Minecraft, or anything else that we use around here, so there is a small chance that the software cannot handle the leap second. SBM is in the same threat as well, and it's entirely up to them if they want to close off their site during the leap second. Large companies are in jeopardy too, such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

 

And if you think it won't happen to us, see how it affected servers in 2012.

This reminds me of the Y2K bug back in the day where some computers were affected. My dad had to fix some of them because of it back in the day. So yes, shutting down servers is the way to go. That way we can prevent any errors occurring to it. I'll have to turn off my Linux computer during then also because of this.

Crap, I never thought of that.

If my computer breaks tonight that would suck. :P

lol why would you say that

 

I hope both sites survive. I think they're both equally good in different, unique ways.

well, SBM does have More Emoticons and its own Chatroom.

 

but we have more than that.

They both different things, said by Omair and that's what makes them equally awesome sites.

The downtime is over, so I'm locking the topic. Please report any issues that you find to me via PM, though it seems that we survived. ^_^
