You are all incredigasmicly hoopy froods, so I'm sure no one is panicked. Plus, you know the answer is 42. AND you have your towel nearby in case of disaster. Phew. If you have no idea what I'm talking about-- you better check out TowelDay.org! Pumas are quite fond of their towels as well as exploring the galaxy. What better way to celebrate the ending of Geek Month than with a holiday revolving around The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?! The Towel Day celebration will be from May 25th until the end of the day on May 30th! -- Why yes-- you will have 6 full days to fling gifts at each other, ponder life, and collect fun Hitchhiker-themed goodies. Alphas Don't Panic! -- Hmm, something fishy is going on with those Alpha Pumas. I knew they couldn't be trusted to their own devices! You should go investigate! Active Users Get Beach Towels -- This year we have our biggest towel yet-- the Beach Towel! Any users active in the last 4 days have received this commemorative towel for 2011. Never leave home without it! Fun Items! -- It wouldn't be Towel Day without some awesome new themed items. ;) See if you can find them all! GEEK TRIVIA CONTEST LAST CHANCE!

That's right, if you have a funny bone, our Guide Quad has a geeky contest for you to enter! To celebrate Geek Month, you can enter a P3-themed comic for a chance to win. Check out the topic here for the rules. :) As if all THAT isn't enough... The Enviro-Collector was complaining to me that she hadn't gotten any new environments in a while. I promised her I would fix that today, so the following have been retired: [ EC #012 ] Oil Lamp [ EC #013 ] Misty Mountains [ EC #014 ] Broken Shadows [ EC #015 ] Ash Reign [ EC #016 ] Star Explosion 5 new environments have now been added. :D Enjoy!

| Geek Month Celebration - New Shop! | |
| Posted by JT_ on May 18, 2011 3:59 pm | |
| To make up for the lack of geeky items this week so far, we've got a new shop for you! Head to the Site Shops to find Armed & Dangerous. Oh, and there might be at least one geeky item stocking in there, if you can find it! Thanks to Pirran for the first items for this shop. :) Have you entered the Geek Trivia Contest yet? Check out the news announcement below for the full details! Also, as you might have noticed, we were down for a few hours yesterday while P3 migrated to a new server. Everything went very smoothly, but please do let us know if you see anything not quite right. :) EDIT: Sorry everyone, it looks like something odd is wrong with image generation. I fixed it last night, or so I thought, but it appears to have broken again. I'll let you know, again, when it should be working again. Edited: 05-18-2011 06:08 pm EDIT2: Well, that was a weird problem! Image generation is fixed now, again, again. ;) Edited: 05-18-2011 07:22 pm |

| Welcome to the New Server! | |

| If you can see this news article on the index page, and you can login to your account-- congrats! You are now seeing the new server. :) Everything should be in order, but if you notice any weird issues or errors, please let us know! Some people will still be seeing the old server for a period of time while our new server's IP is propagated. Thanks for your patience everyone! :) EDIT: Ahhhh, there's always a "gotcha"! Looks like something is not working correctly with the image generation. Let me look into it and see what's going on! Sorry about this! EDIT2: ANNNNNNDDD... images are fixed. :) Go to town!

| P3 will be experiencing a "DOWNTIME" while we transfer to a larger server. This will be happening in appx 15-20 minutes (About 5:15 - 5:20 PM puma time ) Your pumas will not be hurt or injured during the transfer. Live chat will remain open. See you all on the flip side! |

| Server Upgrade - Starting Soon! | |
| Posted by JT_ on May 17, 2011 2:23 pm | |
| Thanks to all of your support, we are moving to a new server this week! :) You guys are the best! The new server we are moving to will be able to grow with us, so we shouldn't need to move around again for a long time. Here's what you need to know about the migration process: 42). Don't Panic! 1). Geek Month is still happening and we'll have lots of fun goodies for you. :) I have put a hold on adding new goodies today due to the migration so that is why you didn't see any "New geek item!" from me this morning. 2). No data will be lost, hurt, broken, etc. during this migration. :) Don't worry about your Pumas or items or anything-- they will all be automatically coming along! 3). There will be Downtime so our database info can be transferred over. I know, downtime is not fun, but we absolutely have no other choice due to being such a database-intensive site. I'm giving you warning right now that the Downtime will be starting sometime today (May 17) Puma Time. At least 2 hours from now, maybe more. I need to finalize the plan. :) 4). During Downtime, the Live Chat will be available for any users who have already registered there. :) So even though you cannot play with your Pumas, you CAN chat with us! I'll try to jump into the Chat as well to give updates when I can. If you have not already registered with our Live Chat, go to Community -> Chat Complex to do so right now! 5). You will not be able to login during the Downtime. The index page will have the latest updates on the migration, as well as the chat. :) Everything else will be locked down. THE TL:DR VERSION: • We are moving servers (woot!) • There will be downtime during the migration (sadface) • Live Chat will be available during the downtime (yay!) • Don't Panic (42) Thanks for all your support and patience everyone! We are looking forward to joining you on the new server. :) |
