Golive Update Redux

[settiai]

I've been asked to delay opening the archive because it was unclear that, when it stated on the AO3 that the the archive would go live on January 18th as soon as everyone had a gift, that meant golive would be happening as early on the 18th as possible. Several people have said that they are still editing their assignments and aren't prepared for golive yet because of that misunderstanding.

Just to be clear: everyone has a gift at this point, so the archive can go live at any time.

It's currently past 2am for me, so I'm going to bed. If anyone feels strongly one way or the other regarding golive, please leave a comment. I'll make a decision once I've actually had a few hours of rest. I've received messages from people on both sides of the issue (asking me to delay opening the archive and asking me why the archive isn't live yet), and at the very least I'm willing to delay until midday to get an idea where the majority stand before making any decisions.

Ao3 schedule very clearly has 11:59 EST on 1/18, which is roughly half a day/15 hours away. Since that deadline has been posted the entire exchange - and was not even the standard week from works due date of Monday, seems like the best course of action.

Yay everyone having a gift though!
