Simmania 3.0 is coming together. This thread is your location to find out all that is happening when the site goes down. 3.0 is coming along and many small improvements will be made. Fortunately, most of these updates will be done outside of peak hours (on EST that's around 7:30 PM) so a lot of you won't have to deal with a site down for maintenance, but obviously that doesn't apply to everyone.
After an update, you will NOT see any visible differences, unless the notification telling you the site is down is visibly different (you'll know when it is).
The majority of the small updates will be about six hours after peak times and most will last for about an hour. When any updates happen, the entire site, including the chat, portal, messages, and forums will go offline. The only thing that will remain up is the Twitter, where the administrator doing the work (usually that is going to be me) will be on to talk to anyone with questions about the updates. Between updates this thread will be open for questions which me and my two colleagues will answer to the best of our ability. Because we want to keep you guessing, we might not answer all questions
Below is a chart so you know what we're going to be doing and when. This only includes the tasks that require downtime.
