Jyosua Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The website's been moved to a true Dedicated server (We have actually only been on a VPS). Sorry for the forum downtime. It was required to make sure nothing was lost in the transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 So that's why it took so long. What was wrong with the old server? BTW, a few guys on mIRC joked that you hit a few bars and got drunk and forgotten that you ran the place. Another joke was that you lost all your money, file for chapter 11 and had to sell Serene Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I heard from Hanz that the forum was changing servers. No idea it would take so long though... Oh well, good night/morning/whatever 6.50am is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 It can take up to 48 hours for the IP switching on the Nameservers to fully take effect. Even then, some people (like me) have to reset their router or flush their DNS before being able to access the site again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I try my best to understand Server-related stuff. But hey, Jyo, that's no biggie, if it was for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I was gone most of the day, so it really didn't fase me that the forest was offline. Hopefully this means no more spazzing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 You know, just for future reference, you should probably announce these things when they can take up to 48 hours. Good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I didn't notice at all... mostly 'cuz I wasn't allowed to use my laptop yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Spoon Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 This made us miss 3-13 Archer day. You guys had to do it then? Can we at least get a 3-13 Archer themed skin? Anyways, what does this new server mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiningDrake Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I wondered what was going on when it had all the maintenance and whatever. I was just freaked out when it started saying that the link was broken last night, and I wasn't able to get any other screen than that until just now.

Doom103 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Can we post roms yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Why would you even want to be able to post ROMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Can we post roms yet? What--what the fuck? What does that have to do with anything? You're not allowed to post ROMs because piracy is illegal, not because "the server told us not to!" Not to mention that if you seriously lack the capability to find ROMs by yourself then you are functionally retarded and should probably kill yourself.

Lord Glenn Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 You know, just for future reference, you should probably announce these things when they can take up to 48 hours.Good though. It technically was announced, when the board was sitting offline stating that the maintenance might take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I kind of thought it was obvious, but I meant before it was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Glenn Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 To be honest, I didn't find out about it myself until shortly before the board jumped to Offline anyway. As such, it's just a matter of sitting and waiting. It's not like someone's going to fall over dead if they can't get on Serenes Forest for a day.

lolDeath Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am well aware of this. I just think it's a bit more professional to tell people that the site will be down for about a day before it is actually down. Not that it's such a huge deal.
