ATRL Upgrade Process
It's update time again, we will be upgrading our Software to the latest version tonight, around 7PM EST I will close the boards, and perform the update. This process should take no more than 2 Hours, so if everything goes according to plan, by 9PM EST we should be back online. I will ask you to bear with us in those hours after the update, as once the initial update is done, minor things still need to be adjusted.
Planned Down Time
Tuesday January 13, 2009 - 7:00 PM-9:00 PM EST
During this time the board will be unaccessible to everyone.
