Oh yeah, ita -- if you have to be available/on-call for any of the change over, then pick whatever time works for you. Otherwise, Saturday evening sounds find to me.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I start feeling I have to be near a keyboard for the upgrade, I may make it earlier. But Saturdays are historically our slowest, so I figure if they're willing to work then, we might as well take advantage.

I don't know - Colbert and Daily Show are scripted, but they're definitely non-fiction. It seems a better fit to me than the comedy thread.

They ended up in comedy, so it seems easier to just leave them there, doesn't it? Nothing about these threads ever has to be written in stone, because they'll disappear on June 1st. At that point, if someone wanted to propose a reality thread, and include Colbert and TDS, they could.

Our wings are not tired.
Colbert and TDS would be in the comedy thread of my mind. Have never seen Ugly Betty.
Yeah. I immediately had to unsub from the Drama thread because I'm behind on House, and then from the Comedy thread because I was behind on Earl and Scrubs.
A good thing about having the threads is that you can go back and catch up after you watch the shows. When the discussion is whitefont in Natter I would never search back to find the discussion.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
FWIW--both Jon Stewart and My Boyfriend Stephen Colbert call their shows comedy shows. Colbert and TDS use non-scripted stuff, but they use it to make us laugh.

i'm in agreement with UB being put in Drama. i don't watch Colbert or TDS to really have an opinion. (though i do think both are pretty hilarious. especially Colbert.)
ita, saturday night is fine with me too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If I start feeling I have to be near a keyboard for the upgrade, I may make it earlier. But Saturdays are historically our slowest, so I figure if they're willing to work then, we might as well take advantage.It makes perfect sense to do the upgrade when we're slow, but if you want to do it earlier, I would totally support it as well. Given that you are, you know, doing this for us.

Ditto.

Support will be performing a pre-upgrade check today which should give a sense of the upgrade's duration
