A reminder that at 2PM UTC on Saturday we have our long awaited
services upgrade and database prune.  All nicks unused for 150 days or
more will be dropped from the database.  Please make sure you have
identified to your accounts and used your grouped nicks before the
upgrade begins. Thank you!

Our services upgrade is scheduled for 2PM UTC on Saturday.  We expect
services to be unavailable for up to an hour, so please plan your
channel management accordingly. Thank you!
