Title: The official launch date is now 12 AM on Monday, 13 December
Post by: enwiabe on December 11, 2010, 01:28:54 pm
7 hours before results

Maybe something to take your minds off the suspenseful wait? :)

Hopefully none, possibly half an hour depending if we need to take the database offline while we make the changes.

The chat would be unaffected though. It can be accessed from external clients (not bound to the VN servers) at any time via any irc clients.

The easiest external access:

http://webchat.freenode.net/

Nickname: 'vn username'-VN (e.g. Mao-VN)
Channel: #vce

Leave both check-boxes blank, enter captcha and you're ready to go.

If something does go wrong, would you guys be able to revert to the current (pre-'revolution') board in time for 7am?

What's the actual server for a proper client? I'm too lazy to go find it :P

There shouldn't be any downtime.

All he has to do is go to the admin cp, and move Sweet Nothings from the Archive to OGD, and permit posting. Standard protocol.

As opposed to the forum, you can chat (i.e. like MSN) about VCE and other topics in the link that Mao posted above. As for the "revolution" no ones knows besides enwiabe (creator of VN) and presumably mods (i.e. TrueTears). Presumably, this website is getting a massive update/change. It's all part of the fun and games.

No, at 12 am on Monday, the "revolution" will be revealed to all! xD

You have to apply to get the SMS, try the VCAA website for more information. I haven't signed up to get my results via SMS, so I'm not too sure... and no, the SMS doesn't come at 12 am on Monday... you get it at 7 am or possibly earlier than that, though definitely not at 12 am. =p
