Growing Pains

Posted by unsquare in Maintenance on Sep.06, 2008.

As you may have heard, a vast army of elves is currently toiling 24/7 to bring you a brand-new Smooth Few Films website.

In the process of doing this, the existing Leet World website may start misbehaving or looking funny, and there will definitely be an unknown period of time where both sites will be down while I have to do a bit of behind-the-scenes magic and make sure everything is in working order before we open it back up to the public. Hopefully the downtime won’t take too long.

This is just a friendly note to let everyone know that you shouldn’t freak out if our site is down / broken / etc. today and tomorrow. We hope to have everything back to regularly scheduled programming on Monday (September 8th).

NOTE: Kirk Cameron not included.

Mostly I just looked for an image I could use for Humorous Effect. Nick hasn’t actually been working on the site today, just me (not pictured).

That should give you an idea of the color scheme of the new site. It’s pretty different from the orange and white you see here.

Also, yes, your old log-ins will still work.

If you guys are working 24/7, what are you doing for work?

It’s a figure of speech. Also, there aren’t elves, in case you were wondering about that, too. Basically, he meant he was working night and day this weekend, since we have jobs during the week.

I like the new website, but i still love the old TLW one way better. Prolly cause of the colors. So when are those shorts getting converted to ipod format? Could you have em done and release at the same time as web zeroes maybe?

Edit: Sorry didnt notice they were converted already. Thanks for the ipod version :p
