The new database servers are performing well under load, so I'll be continuing the database conversion process to the new layout for all websites, which will pave the way for better replication and backup systems.

Please expect to see the "Scheduled maintenance" message on Friday night, February 17, 2017 starting at 9:00 PM Pacific time. I expect the work to take 4-6 hours as I want to take a full backup of the system for safety before making any changes.

Once the websites are back up, there should be no visible difference in the operation or performance of the website. Schedule:

Jan 4 - HealeyExp, CycleKart, all non-forum tables (all sites)
Feb 10 - TriumphExp forums (posts, attachments, search db)
Feb 17 (planned) - MGExp forums, all other website forums

Thanks,
Skye Nott
