[FONT="]Time: 11:15 pm (September 20th) : The Administrator tries to perform test upgrade on the forum system. Having skipped sleep for almost 30 hours, he is trying his best to keep his eyes open. The upgrade is critical and therefore cannot be procrastinated.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Time: 11:30 pm : The Administrator enters incorrect database information & continues with the test upgrade.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Time: 11:40 pm : The CE Database crashes. CE portal goes down. Administrator is still logged in. He is no more sleepy.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Time: 11:45 pm : Administrator understands the problem. Shuts down the forums and the portal. Enters a witty message on the main page to cover up the mess. Takes four important decisions. Goes to sleep.[/FONT]

MayankStill U ROCK
Hey Biggie "K" and ALL,
I can understand the pain you have taken, to give life to our own forum. So ultimately you did it and "Everyone" just see the way Biggie made the entry along with THE new face for our forum. So after small hicckups we come back more thrilled and with new energy.
This reminds me of "PHOENIX" :a mythical bird that dies in flames and is reborn from the ashes.
Hats Off to Big "K".😁
Thanks and Regards,
Mayank Shukla. -

Kaustubh KatdareBig "Thank You"! 😁
I am glad that you liked the new face. It was good to have negative feedback too. Some of us commented that the "Red" effect is not good. But majority of us seem to be really excited about the new look.
"Red" is an indicator of action and that is what we are here for! Action, Innovation & changing the world 👍! Of course, we know how to have fun!
Thanks for all the compliments!
