Scheduled Downtime
Server maintenance on Wednesday June 7th, 2006 3:00am EST
Monday, June 5, 2006 by Stardock Central | Discussion: WinCustomize News
On Wednesday June 7th, 2006 3:00am EST we will be taking most webservers off line wile we upgrade our primary database system. The outage is planned to last a minimum of 3 hours and it is possible that it could last longer.
Sites and services that will be affected are:
desktopgadgets.com
forums.stardock.com (all forum servers)
galciv1.com
galciv2.com
joeuser.com
politicalmachine.com
poweruser.tv
societygame.com
totalgaming.net
wincustomize.com (and WC Personal Pages)
xpthemes.com
Product Activation
Stardock Central
WinCustomize Browser
Blog Navigator
GalCiv 1 & 2 Metaverse Submissions
By moving the database to a new server and new software we hope to have a significant gain in performance on our websites that interact with the database (which is most sites). Where we hope to see the largest gain in performance will be with the initial page loads, logons and all forum based systems.
We apologize for the inconvenience but we hope that this update will improve your browsing experience on our websites.

Good Luck

My wife noticed me trembling severely at the prospect of WC downtime - knows I need my daily skin fix - so has given exceedingly rare permission for me to play on the Playboy site until WC comes back on line. 
With that being the case, I mightn't need the Prozac, but I'd better slip out and get another bottle of Valium....maybe even a blood pressure kit, so as to check that I'm not over-doing it.

Okay, so I sorta lied about the permission to visit Playboy - more like to go out and mow the lawn - but a bloke's entitled to dream and have something to look forward to while the best site on the www is inaccesible....
The missus has just spoken: "You'll get yer skin fix if you scratch yourself on the rose bushes....now git out there and mow the damned yard!!!!"
