Copypasta from the announcement:

There's been a drive failure on the server. We're running in degraded mode for now but if we lose another drive that's a wrap. So I need to get in there and take the site down long enough to swap out the failed drive, migrate data over, then swap out the other old drive, and restore the RAID array. The site can be up for some of this work, but there will be outages from time to time as reboots happen. Also, I would expect the site to operate a bit slowly being under such heavy load from the disks being brought back into sync.

Thanks for doing what you do GTS.

Monday evening seems like the best time to take it down. Nothing interesting in the sports world going on then.

All this techno bable... can you translate this to English please?

I can't dumb it down to your level because I'm afraid of extreme heights.

The site will be offline periodically on Saturday, probably in the late evening / early night time frame.

So if I cannot connect at that time i’ll know it was just normal maintenance and not the start of the internet apocalypse... got it!

Will be posted on a downtime page when I pull the plug. There will be two lengthier outages (half hour-ish) when I resync drives. Beyond that outages should be only a few minutes as I update and reboot critical software on each of the machines since I'm there anyway.

short version: Skynet won.

I'm giving a +1 for giving a warning to the guy who's literally keeping you on the interwebs. Ballsy move.
