Just a reminder that the site will be unavailable from 8pm tonight. Perhaps earlier.

Hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.

If the upgrade breaks Demonland well it's been nice knowing you all. I don't have the energy to fix it.

Go Dees.

Acknowledged! 😎👍🏻

Anyone else having preemptive withdrawal symptoms already?

Well done Andy, Nasher and all other contributors.  You have our backing 100O000%!
 ………..  a Premiership without Demonland would be bedlam around these parts.

I'm starting to remove some widgets, blocks, and soon-to-be-defunct third-party add-ons from the website in preparation for the transition. You don’t need to worry about the technical details—just trust me on this.

When we upgraded the test site, some of these elements caused minor issues, so I want the installation and upgrade process to be as clean as possible.

I could wait until tomorrow night, but tackling it now while I have the time will save me time later and help get Demonland back up and running sooner.

I’ll also be temporarily removing ads since some of the custom placements aren’t supported in the new software, and they might cause unexpected issues. So, enjoy the ad-free experience while it lasts! 😛

See you on the other side—hopefully.

As @Demonland Andy and @Nasher embark on the Demonland site software upgrade tonight, it’s essential to wrap our arms around around them and embrace the challenge they have ahead. While they may encounter some bumps along the way, these will be valuable learnings that will contribute to our continuous enjoyment of 'Land. By trusting the process and staying united, Andy and Nasher can ensure a successful transition that enhances the experience for our community, country and the whole planet. Stay strong everyone, hug your family and friends and tell them how much you love 'em. Godspeed everyone, and I hope to see you on the other side. God bless us all.

I’m gonna spend the time with my son, what’s-his-name. I’m pretty sure he still lives with me. 

Thanks for all your work Andy and Nasher! Good luck and see you all on the other side

There's a chance you might find that he's quite a nice fellow.

Seeing PJ Harvey tonight so that should help with going into Demonland abstinence. It's going to be a tough few hours for everyone.

You Gen admin?

He seemed nice last time I spent time with him, (mid-2021 when Demonland was down one evening).

Was it the Pork Barrel Park game?

What do I win for being the last to post on the old software?

I can’t remember, but I remember it wasn’t planned. It was one of those I remember what I was doing when it happened moments. It was swift but it was brutal. Seemingly we all came out unscathed.

Incidentally, at the time I was patiently trying to convince my 90yo legally blind then-neighbour that no, this isn’t his house, his house is across the road.

yes, althought you must've got there close to doors to be right up the front!

i KINDA wish i'd been sitting for the first half, with the recent album in full - very austere, very mannered, very performative; reckon it might've been better to absorb

BUT i was so glad i was standing for the back half cos ROCK N ROLL BABY \m/

First half very performative. I don’t love her new album but I loved the live performance of it. I thought the end was rocking. We got there just after 6 😂

Good luck Andy and Nasher. See you on the other side!
