I pick "not the 27th." Since I've already won, the game is over. ;0
I've been wondering too, it cuts down my "check my boards" by at least 20 minutes each morning.

It's genius marketing!!! They never planned on launching on the 27th and I am sure their daily site hits over the last week are more than the last 6 months!!!
Official Launch, Between Jan. 5th - 8th - Book It!!!

"DegreeInfo is currently offline as part of a major software upgrade and overhaul. The upgrade has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstance. We'll be back online Wednesday December 31st. - The degreeinfo team"
Which year, unknown.

This was all in fun Decimon. We already knew of the reason and now you just killed the game. Thanks, A Lot!!!

Well, Wednesday, Dec. 31st is a little bit suspect.

Closing the forum for 3 days is not a great way to publish a major release. I'm a bit concern about their approach.
In those cases, you rebuild a new version with a database copy on the side and when are ready you flip the switch. You don't hail mary with your production build altho I'm sure they have a backup (or their hosting provider does.)

Yeah, This forum did the same thing.

Always, always create a test board if you're installing new software! This way, you can make sure the new system works properly before you launch. There are many ways a forum installation/upgrade can go wrong, so don't do that without thorough testing and plenty of backups.
I run another forum, and I recently upgraded from phpBB to MyBB. This was a major transition, but because we'd tested everything, we only had 12 hours of downtime (and that's considering we held a special event to commemorate the transition, and I spent much of that period at work).

DegreeInfo - Error
Route forum.php/ could not be found.
I think that's progress.
