Scheduled downtime - 8/24 or 8/25 for software and VM upgrade.

[Spark]

We're going to go offline either tomorrow or Wednesday evening from 7pm until ??? to perform maintenance & virtual machine upgrades. While things have been very smooth since we've moved to the new virtual machines a couple months back, peak cpu usage has gotten a lot higher with the increased traffic we're seeing.

Whodathunkit. More reliable machines -> More traffic -> Need more CPU.

So, we're going to offline the servers to double the CPUs. No biggie.

At the same time, I'm going to be setting up a development board and doing some testing to prepare for transition to the 4.0 version of the vB software. From what I understand, there may be a significant performance penalty involved with this, which is another reason to increase the CPU power. When we change over to the new software, there will be some layout, button & other interface changes that may take a bit to get used to. DO NOT PANIC.

Thanks for your support.
