We should be back up within two or three hours. We are installing the third of our three new servers and this one will require some downtime. The other two were installed as web servers and this one will be a database server.
We now have seven web servers installed and this newest addition makes it three database servers, plus we have a secure server and an admin server.
Hopefully, these new additions will help us handle the growing load as we head into the election season.
Our standby message board is located on Yahoo:

Sorry about the downtime, but it's unavoidable.
Thank you all very much!
Thank you for all that you do!
Can we assume that’s midnight PDT?
Time to hit the sack, anyway.
Work away!
I got to go to bed early?
As long as we have the added firepower to fight “the turds in the D.C. punchbowl” (aka “DimoRATS”) all the way to the election, I’m all for it!
IBTZ!
:)
You may.
Dang. That “OBAMA IS INDONESIAN” thread was just getting entertaining.

Thank you Jim for the fyi.
I wonder what world catastrophe is about to unfold in the next three hours.
Thanks for letting us know, Jim. I’ll be praying that everything goes smoothly for you, and especially for John, too! I don’t envy your task one bit! Although I am VERY grateful for everything the both of you do.
I shudder to think where we would be - especially today - were it not for the ability to organize with like-minded Conservatives and Patriots!
God bless you both and all of your loved ones! God bless FR and ALL FReepers... and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Thanks for the warning Jim. Glad to see you and John are fixing it so we’ll have a rip roaring October prior to the election. Good luck concerning your work in the late night hours. I look forward to a near speed of light experience tomorrow.

Pardon me while I curl up on the floor, thumb extended and inserted in mouth.
Jim, do you rent servers from a company or do you run your own?
(i.e. have a server rack in your basement)
Also, unrelated, have you considered setting up a mirror?
Hang in there and keep up the good work.
Servers should be back online in time for my morning coffee. I get edgy without coffee and F/R. ;-)
Oh, my goodness. I hope that is MY midnight and not yours!! I love FR and YOU!
They’re ours. A mirror site is not practical at this time. Maybe after the next major upgrade, but don’t know when that will be.
