Yes, we were moving the servers, and that took all weekend:

blog.tribe.net/thread/390...8a036bb7df2

Other scheduled maintenance periods have generally been from 1-3 am for database maintenance.

No it hasn't (been down as much as up). Tribe is rarely down.

It doesn't take but a few moments to check the Company Blog. I have it on my home page. I have the tribe bookmarked via the Tribe bookmarking function too.

And it helps to pay attention to what is going on with the technical/management side. Bookmark all these tribes:
blog.tribe.net/
bugs.tribe.net/
brainstorm.tribe.net/
tribes.tribe.net/goldstarclub

When you are online, you can check your bookmarks to see if there are any new posts. You'll see the new post show up in the bookmarks from the Company Blog before it shows up on your home page. Also read any replies that are in the Blog tribe, since ONLY employees post there.

Bugs will have people mentioning things and the staff answering or talking about when the down time might occur.

Brainstorm will have mentions of new features, and when they might be implemented (or fixing something that broke).

Gold Star has Darren drop by and Shatter does help with things like the moving that occurred recently.

I don't know if you have seen this image, or if this image is of tribe, but what a mess!:

If it's anything like that, yes, it would take awhile to unplug, move, and replug all that stuff back in. It's not like moving dishes, where some can be packed while leaving one plate to eat off of. LOL! Once plugs start being pulled, there is no turning back. That's my guess anyway.

Oh! You can add that back in! It's not gone.

I don't see the link to add the Company Blog back in. What it would be called on the module page? I have the Company Blog module already.

Tribe gets the news out to us the best, fastest, and most efficient way, via the blog. When they say that there are still some problems and that the site may be taken down between 1 and 3 AM during the week, without specifying days, that's still "scheduled" in my opinion. And if it turns out the be something that cannot be repaired in that time frame, they can't exactly stop and not fix it.

It's not just the tech world, it's the whole world. Car repairs. Road work. The items being repaired cannot be used for their purpose while being repaired.

There have been noticeable improvements in all aspects. But just like the road that was too extensive to keep up on, it will take some time to repair or replace the infrastructure.
