This must be something big to be a 7 hour maintenance window.

I saw that.  I wonder what changes are in store?

You don't suppose they have finally figured out how to eliminate all those pesky lenders, do you? Nah, that couldn't be it. Could it?

I'm thinking that they now have the code written for the "charged off" loans situation that was addressed when the 04/2008 default sale could not be made - this new loan classification was commented on in the blog. In order to do this the platform would need an upgrade and I have assumed that it would need to be a major upgrade to included all the necessary features that were discussed.

Good call.  They'll need to revamp the performance page especially to reflect the new category... my guess is they still screw up how they present it.

it's the holy grail of prosper land .. how do you get lenders to shut up and hand over their money at the same time?

Maybe they are installing a Slap All Borrowers button.

Eric's and LS will, most likely, take a good long while to react to the "charge-off" upgrade, if that's what PMI is doing.

Any normal company would notify their userbase of API updates before they actually took effect.

Yes, but this is Prosper we are talking about, not a normal company.

here is the code for notifying users of API changes

try {
    /* run prosper API application */
} catch(Exception ex) {
    /* send email to user that API has changed */
}

here is the code for notifying users of API changes

try {
    /* run prosper API application */
} catch(Exception ex) {
    /* send email to user that API has changed */
}

Next part of the standard code is:

try {
    /* run receive lender email complaints */
} catch(Exception ex) {
    /* send random generation email to user that problem is being addressed */
