As Groundspeak and Geocaching.com have grown, the demands on our production network infrastructure have increased significantly. As a result, on Tuesday December 14, 2010 at 8:00 PM PST (GMT -8), we will be performing a number of major upgrades to our production network. These upgrades include a new network design as well as new hardware to help increase the performance, scalability, and security of the network.
We're estimating that the downtime may take up to 6 hours, and during that time, all Groundspeak sites and services including Geocaching.com, the Groundspeak Forums, Pocket Queries, Geocaching Mobile Applications, and other 3rd party applications that access our API will be inaccessible.
While we're giving ourselves a 6 hour window to cover anything unexpected that might come up, we'll be doing everything possible to minimize the downtime and are confident that we'll have the site back up much sooner.

| So I wonder if things went badly. I'm not getting pages to load very well (sometime they load, sometimes they don't) and when they do, assuming it isn't from cache, they still have the maintenance header on them. |

Can anyone with an iPhone post on the GC forums since the update? I can't.
Scratch that, now I can. |

| We've identified the issue causing the site slowdowns and are working to resolve them. We should have this resolved shortly. |

So aside from breaking it, what did they do to the infrastructure?

I don't see any of that stuff.
| Code: |
| Your search exceeded 500 caches. |

The changes mentioned on that site aren't part of the upgrade on the 14th. The upgrade on the 14th was a hardware-only upgrade I believe. There will be a software upgrade (which is what that page talks about) soon - I'm thinking it is schedule for the next week or so barring any problems.

Mygeocachingprofile.com Acquired by Groundspeak!
12/15/2010
Great news for lovers of geocaching statistics! Groundspeak has acquired the mygeocachingprofile.com site and will be moving the statistics, charts, and maps into the geocaching.com website! They have already begun an initial transfer of several profile sections into a new "Stats" tab in your geocaching profile and they plan to move over more sections in the near future. Look for the new "Stats" profile tab in the upcoming geocaching.com release next week!

| Cool! That's the stat site that I use so that should make it quicker and easier, right? |

| It would be cool if they also bought out the defunct "It's not about the numbers.com" maps and incorporate them also. |

Yes, the county maps were handy!
