Site Upgrades and Future downtime
Hello Gatchafreaks!
I have been talking with our hosting company about upgrading our server and it has been agreed that on Wednesday 29th October the site will be closed down for the upgrade.
Additionally the upgrades taking place may effect the future running of the site once the upgrade has finished and I will be working to fix these as and when they occur.
What do the upgrades mean to you guys? Well at first they might cause a little headache for you but eventually it means I can start to really program up the site the way I have wanted too.
What does it mean to me? Much more freedom to code and spend time improving the site and the upgrades are free 
which is a good thing, did you know that so far it has cost me nearly $900 to keep this site running? 
Anyway more on the update next week!

Wow Cep, you must really like us 
... At least you'll have more freedom to code what you want after the upgrades...

Cep, thank you for the update.
I will try to remember not to sign in on that day.
Thank you for the updates you are going to make. I look forward to seeing what you plan on doing.

It will be weird to go for a day without this site. But, if it makes Cep happy and can improve the site, then it's okay!

Well we did manage, what was it a month ago, when the server went down. I am sure we could all keep in contact through IM if we are feeling like we are going into withdrawal. That will be a Thursday so at least I will be working that day. I wonder if Cep will have the work done by that evening, when I get home though.

Thanks Cep and I will try to remember not to visit on that day. I probably forget and try to get on and then worry about it until the next day.

A day without Gatchamania is like a day without, well, Gatch!!
Sounds great, though, Cep! Can't wait to see the upgrades you have planned!
And ITA with Springie! We totally appreciate all your hard work (and financial contributions) to the site. You are definitely providing us with a home we may not have otherwise had!

with everyone, Cep! It's amazing how lost I feel when this site is down. It means a lot to all of us!
