The Chiff and Fipple MySQL databases are being moved to a new server while upgrading the MySQL version to 5.6. This migration will take place this Tuesday, the 27th of October, starting at 10am PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). Migrating the databases from their current location will take all day to complete; however, the Chiffboard should only experience 5 to 10 minutes of downtime, but unfortunately we do not know when to expect this.

Onward and upward.
