How do you guys get around you websites downtime when upgrading VB? I need to perform a massive upgrade to the new series, and it will be quite a project, considering I'm going to have to either revert all my templates, and overwrite all my old files with the new ones OR setup an entirely new database, import all my data, and reset my styles all over again.
In any case, it'll take a few weeks by time I do everything and reinstall hacks. How do you guys work around this? Do you setup like a test forum (almost like a virtual forum) where your users can go and post? Obviously alot more work. Or do you just take down ur site and have ur guests deal with it.
Lookin for some options here.
