I will be performing server and software upgrades over the coming several days (starting today which is Oct 1, 2014). Goodness will be found on the other side of this work...
But, during the work there will be occasional server outages, or slow downs. Your patience is appreciated.
The final upgrades will take the server (forums, maps, scores... the whole thing) down for a couple hours. I"ll try to pick a not-so-busy time to do this so most people won't notice.
I'll add that it would be wise for those addicts like me to make sure all new CS maps are downloaded so server outages don't impact playing opportunity.
If you read this, the upgrade is complete. :)
Please report issues in the Support Forum (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?board=2.0).
One more phase of upgrades (to faster physical resources) will be done later today. It will take the server down for a bit... (anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour).
And... this is now complete as well. Didn't take very long at all.
