As many of you should know by now, a sever issue with Intel's CPUs have come to light causing a bit of panic and a lot of patching. Apparently hosting servers are at risk as well.

I have received a message from our hosting stating they must apply the patches to fix the intel issue on their hardware on January 18th 2018 around 9:00:00 AM UTC. They say it could take up to 2 hours but hopefully much less. During that time frame, GL could be down or be very unresponsive, but hopefully everything will go well and quickly.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and I'll update once this is done.
 
Thanks for informing us of possible server downtime. Hope everything goes well, and there is no long downtime.
 
I got a message like that a while ago on my host. They said the update would take hours but when they did the patch we were offline for maybe 10 minutes. (I'd say they're estimating 2 hours to do all servers.) So I don't think there'd be that much downtime. Still good to know it's coming.
 
Oh...I didn't know this at all. Thank you for informing us beforehand, demon skeith. I hope they would apply it quickly
