'''BULBAPEDIA AND ALL RELATED WIKIS WILL BE LOCKED FROM EDITING AS OF <U>SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 2011</U>.''' | |||
Now the real questions are why, and for how long. Well, lets answer them: | |||
'''Why will the wikis be closed?''' - We are closing the site to '''upgrade our servers'''. As many of you are well aware, our site has been running...well pretty badly. Errors abound! We have been upgrading our servers steadily for the past year or two, but the thing is, more of you keep visiting us! This is totally acceptable, but the site is growing so fast we can't keep up! So we are closing the site and doing a big update that will hopefully alleviate the issue. | |||
'''How long will the wikis be closed?''' - The tentative duration is currently '''{{tt|3 days|Tuesday, August 23, 2011}}''', but anything can happen. We may reopen in two days, we may take four, but three is the goal. '''The site will still be available to view and browse''', but we can't promise it will be running all that smooth until the job is done, so sadly, errors may still happen. | |||
After this updates, we hope to take advantage of the new servers and do some updates around the site. Re-organizing some pages and sections, new and updated templates, that sort of stuff. We thank you guys for all your support (even though you destroyed our servers), and we hope that with our updated system we can continue offering all the information you need, and the stuff you don't! | |||

As the [[Black and White]] hype continues and so does the high server load, we have a couple of announcements for our valuable users. To begin with [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a new rule has been implemented - that personal images are no longer allowed on the Archives. All the previously uploaded personal images will be deleted after May 31, so kindly save any of your personal images before they are all deleted. There are plenty of image hosting sites which can be used for personal images instead. | As the [[Black and White]] hype continues and so does the high server load, we have a couple of announcements for our valuable users.
