We will be upgrading network services to version 1.8.3 of Anope during the morning (around 11am EDT) of Sunday, 21 March 2010. The upgrade is being done to ensure that we have the latest bug fixes for our network services. (None of these bugs have been triggered on the network yet but it's better to be proactive about these things.)
During the upgrade process, services will be offline for a few minutes. We will keep this downtime to a minimum. No registrations or other information stored in services will be changed as part of this upgrade.
