Just hope that you guys would take a week off (since it is abutting the Labor Day weekend, anyway), so we all could maybe catch up a bit on our pendings?

You could have some fun, and we poor crunchers could maybe get some real crunching in...

Thanks for considering this request!

I don't have a problem with the length of the outages at the minute myself, but in view of the above & the Bank Holiday what about shutting down on Wed, rather than Tue, for a 2-day outage?

As your wingmen return their wu's after an outrage your old pendings should become 'unpending' - but only if the wingman was going to return those wu's during the outrage. I don't think not having the outrage will speed this process up. Well maybe by a couple of days maximum - but all would be caught up by the Friday in any case.

outage = outrage????

Yeah, I'm mad about it, too...just that my Pendings have been going up since the 3-day outages were instituted...was just hoping that all could be straightened out by skipping one outage.

Outrage is just some users little joke, As It's still an outage and all will or should at least catchup on Friday local time. It's just a matter of getting stuff to flow. :D

a lot of the pendings are caused by Ghosts, and it'll take up to 6 weeks for those to get reissued, and maybe many more reissues before they validate, so skipping one outage is unlikely to help,

Personally I think giving the MB splitters some time off is in order.

Now before you lynch me.. This would let the re-issues and time outs to get sent out as the only work for a day or so, therefore getting done first.
The bad side.. Big crunchers would start running dry for a bit. The good side..
our pendings should drop.

If this was a known ahead of time thing, like once a month for say 24-48 hours
after the outtage(maybe a once a month shortened outageto lessen the pain)
I think it would clean out a bunch of pendings, drop the waiting to validate count down significantly, and keep the file storage from getting beat to death.

Sounds good to me!
