Patience, this is GOG!

Luned: I certainly hope some forum fixes are part of the updates...and that the fixes don't break something new.
That would certainly be a first, and a date to mark down our calendars and celebrate every year.

Soooo... should we start to backup everything? ;)

Luned: I'm female and I have no issue with this generalized form of address. Would you prefer "Howdy folks!"? Can't even say "Hello humans," there are forumites who'd take exception to being labeled as another species. ;) :P

Besides, IIRC Ciris admits to being a girl too.
Exactly. I always call my female friends 'guys'. :P

huN73R: What if they host a flash sale during the downtime and those who don't check assuming site is down will lose out?
Didn't you recieve the email?

Hi community,

During the scheduled maintenance we will be giving acess to our vip members of the forum to a special offer, you can pick three games for FREE from a list that will be available for a short period.

Pillars of Eternity
Shadowrun Hong Kong
Divinity Original Sin
The Witcher 3
Kerbal Space Program
Wasteland 2
Torment: Tides of Numenera (early acess)

Please do keep this as a secret otherwise we will have to cancel the offer and deny everything.

Best regards,
Keyser Söze
GOG.com

Optimistic Me says that this is the long-awaited forum and site overhaul, where GOG implements all the ideas they have gathered from listening to us and distilled them into an update that will blow all other gaming forums out of the water.

Pessimistic Me says that this is purely Galaxy related and we'll see sod-all in terms of forum or site improvements.

Which will win their friendly wager?

FTFY because pessimism doesn't factor into it as we all know that diddly squat will be done regarding the forum and as for the site, things are going to break as they have often in the past. ;)

Nothing impatient about it, it's a legitimate question. Ciris told us there would be news about community changes coming this week, but there was no prior mention of required downtime.

I'm going with "just minor changes in the background that we won't even notice".

Ciris: Hey guys!

dtgreene: It's not safe to assume that everyone here is a guy. There are women on this forum.
Do you somehow actually believe that Ciris was making that assumption, or are you just being a pedant?

I dunno, GOG does "subtle changes" about as effectively as one eats linguine with a claw hammer.

This.

Also, please, actual guys, stop being offended for our sake.

Honestly we could use gender symbols on the left under our names and a setting for it in the settings tab. I call many people dude, or guys, or him. Not because I think everyone here is a male, just most names sound like a male names to me even the user is female. So I can't tell. xD

There are two issues with this that I can see:
1. Some people do not want to reveal their gender.
2. Some people have non-binary gender identities.

Don't think it matters much. If someone is particularly bothered by it they can always just correct you. :P
