I like shiny things!
Everybody likes shiny things. We have a brand new set of features coming up tomorrow that, for the sake of argument, we shall say are shiny. They make our site go faster, allow you more sorting options for your databases, and add some behind the scenes spit and polish to the news and forums. Like I said, shiny. However, said updates will cause our site to be unavailable for about 30 minutes, starting at 10:30 am PDT on Thursday morning.
