You have all shown greatness in your old positions, and we know you will keep it up with your new titles!


'''Why will the wikis be closed?''' - We are closing the site to '''to overhaul our server backend'''. As many of you are well aware, our site has been running...well pretty badly. Errors abound! We have been upgrading our servers steadily for the past year or two, but the thing is, more of you keep visiting us! This is totally acceptable, but the site is growing so fast we can't keep up! So we are closing the site to restructure the system, and that will hopefully alleviate the issue.
We are also happy to announce and welcome {{u|Glik}} and {{u|Abcboy}} to the staff as new Junior Administrators! You both have shown that you have the right stuff, and we definitely know what you two are capable of great things! We hope to see you both shine brightly in your new positions!

'''How long will the wikis be closed?''' - <s>The tentative duration is currently '''{{tt|3 days|Tuesday, August 23, 2011 UTC}}''', but anything can happen. We may reopen in two days, we may take four, but three is the goal.</s> '''The site will still be available to view and browse''', but we can't promise it will be running all that smooth until the job is done, so sadly, errors may still happen.
 
After this updates, we hope to take advantage of the new servers and do some updates around the site. Re-organizing some pages and sections, new and updated templates, that sort of stuff. We thank you guys for all your support (even though you destroyed our servers), and we hope that with our updated system we can continue offering all the information you need, and the stuff you don't! While we are closed, you can still browse [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/ the forums] (which will be operational) or hang out in our IRC channel at '''[irc://irc.systemnet.info/bulbapedia #bulbapedia]'''.

It has been a fair while since we last announced staff hires and promotions, and the wait is finally over! We have several extremely dedicated users who spend countless hours diligently working to make Bulbapedia even better than it was the day before, and we'd like to give some of these users a sign of our appreciation for their work.

We would like to extend our congratulations to Berrenta and Blazingfist on your advancement from Junior Administrator to Administrator, and Force Fire on advancing from Administrator to Senior Administrator! You have all shown greatness in your old positions, and we know you will keep it up with your new titles!

We are also happy to announce and welcome Glik and Abcboy to the staff as new Junior Administrators! You both have shown that you have the right stuff, and we definitely know what you two are capable of great things! We hope to see you both shine brightly in your new positions!
