The website will be undergoing maintenance on May 24th from 1PM EST to 4PM EST. During this time, all features of the website will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

-Metkil5685
-Web Admin

That's quoted from the announcement I posted. Here's a few more details for those who care.

- vB will be updated to the latest version
- This is primarily a security update
- Admins will be gaining new utilities via ACP
- There will no noticeable changes for those not an Admin
- Website could be back sooner depending on how smoothly everything runs.
- All updates for the website are posted on our Twitter (twitter.com/FC_Wars) and my personal twitter (twitter.com/metkil) Follow them to keep up to date on FC related activity

Any questions?

UPDATE:

There is one other thing I forgot about:

- Upgrading the forum software will break the skin. Please bear with us while we upgrade and fix our skin as well. This process could take a couple days, but will not affect forum availability.

You know how much vB likes to break things when it comes to updates. Shouldn't be too much though.

About 40 minutes until the maintenance begins. The site functionality and forums will be down during that time.

Hopefully the downtime won't be too long.

Refer to OP for how to keep informed! @fc_wars and @metkil on Twitter!
