Scheduled Downtime

Server maintenance on Wednesday June 7th, 2006 3:00am EST

from JoeUser Forums
On Wednesday June 7th, 2006 3:00am EST we will be taking most webservers off line wile we upgrade our primary database system. The outage is planned to last a minimum of 3 hours and it is possible that it could last longer.

Sites and services that will be affected are:

desktopgadgets.com
forums.stardock.com (all forum servers)
galciv1.com
galciv2.com
joeuser.com
politicalmachine.com
poweruser.tv
societygame.com
totalgaming.net
wincustomize.com (and WC Personal Pages)
xpthemes.com

Product Activation
Stardock Central
WinCustomize Browser
Blog Navigator
GalCiv 1 & 2 Metaverse Submissions

By moving the database to a new server and new software we hope to have a significant gain in performance on our websites that interact with the database (which is most sites). Where we hope to see the largest gain in performance will be with the initial page loads, logons and all forum based systems.

We apologize for the inconvenience but we hope that this update will improve your browsing experience on our websites.

As a follow-up to TGN members, during this transition period you won't be able to download/update any games via Stardock Central (hence why the guys are doing this at 3am ).

Due to the server upgrade, we won't be launching any new content onto TotalGaming.net until at least next week when people can expect to see: World War II: Panzer Claws by TopWare Interactive and Aveyond by Amaranth Games.  Plus, big announcement on the horizon to look out for.
