from the look-scheduled-downtime-what-a-novelty dept.
We need to do some maintenance operations on both the webserver and database servers. We expect that we're going to have to offline mysql for awhile, and as such the site will be down while the database is. We expect the work to be approximately 15-20 minutes, but scheduling a full hour in case something goes wrong.
During this period, IRC, as well the wiki will remain up as they're on separate boxes, so you can reach us there. We'll post news to the wiki if for whatever reason we remain down for more than an hour.
Sorry about any inconvenience

It's slang for urinate, as in "I need to take a slash." :-)
Seems appropriate, as the site needs to "go down for maintenance"

If "slash" is "urination," I'd hate to think what "beta" is.
Also, downtime during prime trolling hour? But how will I earn -1, Troll with IRC posts? Bah.
