OK... we're looking good for migrating the forums to new hardware on Tuesday, October 9. We'll take the forums offline at 11AM PDT. They will probably come back online around 4-5PM PDT, maybe a bit sooner.

This downtime was originally going to happen a couple weeks ago, but we decided to delay so that we could get set up with a new upstream network provider & therefore have more available bandwidth. (LOTS more.)

 

You guys asked for a faster server and you are going to get it! The site will be down tomorrow as we move everything to the new servers and tomorrow evening you should see a marked improvement!

 

Yep, the moment we've all been waiting for!

 

Damn! Oh well...aslong as it will make SL better...Now I just gotta find something to do tomorrow while Im at work.

 

^^....work perhaps? :p

So we'll be a a new better (faster) server huh? Will the site be the same? Or are any upgrades going to happen during the down time?

 

Thats ridiculous! I guess Ill be watching movies!

 

No upgrades to the site itself, but it is getting new hardware.

 

can we get a rolling drum roll for the 5 hours tomorrow while its down lol

that would be so worth it too

 

no SL............................
































<- this is how i will look

 

i better get my fix before 11 then

 

We might be postponing this. Subscribe for updates.

 

C'mon, we know you guys will just be playing Halo 3 for those 5 hours.

 

Watching.

 

damnit now what am I going to do at work tomorrow?!

 

don't postpone it, just get it over with or maybe do it on a late friday or saturday night

 

do it on a late friday or saturday night

 

We're postponing it to make sure we get everything in place.

The move is a somewhat complicated procedure that will take several hours. We tend to do these earlier in the week. That way, the whole team is in the office (not to mention in the offices of other companies we might need to talk to), and we have plenty of time to fix any issues that might crop up BEFORE the weekend.

 

no more waiting!!!! keep up the good work guys.

 

omg.. this is just as exciting as the new iMac coming out! damn you apple!

 

well i guess honda-tech it is tomorrow...
