No, I don't mean I want you to invade Reef Discussions or Advanced Topics. I just want to Warn you feeble Newbie minds that Reef Central is getting a facelift starting late tonight..
Starting in the wee hours of Friday morning, about the same time the tooth fairy leaves two bits under a Newbies' pillow, Reef Central will enter surgery. The computer geeks tell me that "Nothing can go wrong" but that is what they said in the Yule Brenner Movie "WestWorld". Just in case I will instruct your Newbienesses on a emergency action plan.
First of all Don't Panic RC may go down briefly for a few hours during the upgrade. That is most likely on Sunday but if it occurs sooner just ignore the "Reef Central was Attacked by Spongebob and his gang of Square Pants terrorists that soaked up their entire database and website". This type of rumor was rather rampant this past July when the board was down for a day.
If the board is down for any length of time we have a facebook site and keep checking Upgrade News for details.
