Server Move Coming
« on: May 28, 2010, 06:13:14 PM »
Hey folks,

We're looking at upgrading to a dedicated server sometime soon (Jimbeast Needs More RAM!). I don't have a specific timeline yet. When that happens, there may be a 'hiccup' where we lose a few hours of posts on the forum. So just be aware of that. I'll say more here when I have some actual scheduling to report.

A timetable still has not been established, so it likely won't occur over the long weekend.

This *might* happen as early as Tuesday, but it's almost certain to happen sometime in this coming week. When it does, we may experience as much as a day of downtime, or it could end up happening pretty quickly.  There may be a period of overlap where both sites are active, resulting in a small but unpredictable period of lost posts. I'll do my best to forecast things, but since I'm not the one working directly with the server or the transition, that may be tricky.

Thanks for your patience, and pardon our dust. :)

Yeah, so that didn't happen. NOW the best guess is: this evening, or sometime tomorrow.
