[Love Calm Quiet]

ManNN Forums has opened for the last *couple* weeks with the alert:

"We would like to inform our readers that MacNN Forums will be unavailable for some time this weekend (probably) while..."

Not too helpful a warning. More helpful would be "unavailable for some time this weekend (May 18-19, 2002)."

Otherwise readers can't tell if you're crying "wolf" -- and whether the alert/warning has just been left there by mistake - or if the event has been postponed another week. We're left puzzled as to whether there really is a risk of downtime (and hope of enhancements!!!) within a few days of reading your warning.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the enhancements!

that's just not true.
the alert has been there since we believed the update was going to happen this past weekend. when it didn't, it was changed to reflect this coming weekend.
it only seems like a lot of time has passed
