IMPORTANT: Site downtime soon - now complete
Dan Hi all, unfortunately I have to take the site down for up to 30mins in fifteen minutes time.
When I first built the comments system months ago, I made a design mistake which has made things difficult for me to maintain. I have a fix for this, but I will have to take the site down whilst I migrate the data. There are something like 22000 comment threads to migrate, so it'll take a few minutes.
Sorry for the downtime. Please make sure you save your work.

Dan The site won't shut down. I am taking the site down so I can backup the database whilst you all can't add more comments.
Then if it goes wrong, I'll restore my backup and put the site back up and try another day.
FartSpiritOkay
Dan Five minutes then I take it down. 19:30 GMT
FartSpiritWhat willl happen when you take it down? Will it automatically log us out?
Dan You’ll see a white error page if you refresh. Clicking anything on the site won’t work until it’s back up.
You’ll probably still be logged in when it comes back up.
FartSpiritOk. Thanks. Goodluck!

Dan Then I guess you’d have to find a new hand drawn animation website/app!
I don’t have any plans to do that, I should say 😁
