It's that time of the month and we're upcoming with maintenance for the end of the month. So what does that mean? It means chat services get cut off in the early morning hours on the Eastern time zone while I do backups, disk cleanup, snapshots, and server restarts. I'll start giving out warnings via system broadcasts (shows in the room in yellow) closer to the time when it is to occur. When you start seeing the system broadcasts, you'll have about an hour to start wrapping things up before chat services come to an end. UG servers should still be available and active. Thank you all for your patience as I go through the necessary stuff but we'll be back up and going for March 1.

• WORK IN PROGRESS:

  UPDATE (Mar 20, 2026 - 8:00pm):I am aware of Whochat freaking out and showing a slew of duplicate users in the list. I am aware that the room names are disappearing still. Rewriting the code to fix this has been problematic but I am isolating where this is occurring so what will end up happening is a series of untimely (at least for some of you) resets as I make impromptu but necessary patches to allievate these issues we are all experience. Please be patient a little while longer. I know that is a big ask for some of you but all I can do is continue to ask.

  UPDATE (Mar 26, 2026 - 10:00pm):I've been working to fix the Whochat duplication issues as well as the screen name disappearances from the room dropdown list and I've got things in a pretty good place there for now. I'll continue to monitor it and am also now working on a new system to improve on what I've already done so it's nothing but a thing of the past. On a side note, I buried my father today so I'm taking today and tonight and part of tomorrow off. I'm sorry folks.
