Forum Outage

[sparky5693]

Scheduled Down Time
Forum Down for Server Move
Late Saturday Night 12/22 (after midnight) to Sunday Evening 12/23.


The nerdy details:
Due to out amazing growth, we need to move to a faster server. While we will continue using the same host, we will be moving to a different, faster physical location (dallas, tx). Because we're actually changing locations, this move will take a few hours to complete.

The outage will begin late saturday night/early sunday morning, and depending on the speed of the ip propagation, we'll be back up sunday afternoon.

Here's the place if any of you have questions....

Sorry guys, we were running very tight on storage capacity. Everyone should notice the improvement in speed with connection in Dallas though, and overall faster server.

I promise to keep it as brief as I can. I picked sunday, because it's our slowest day.

Sounds great, not that I experience that the server is sluggish, but all improvements are welcomed!

Maybe I have missed some important piece of information, but "midnight" in what timezone?

[sparky5693]

Eastern GMT -5

This update is mainly to increase server storage capacity, but during the process I figured it was a good time to stay ahead of the performance curve.

In how many hours is that for me on the other side of the world?

GMT -5 would be 5AM GMT, I guess you could calculate from there

6AM CET, so I'm cool :cool:

Thanks for the reply!

The estimated time for the outage is midnight eastern time (GMT -5) that is 5am GMT (same as UK time wintertime). You say you are GMT + 10.5 that would mean the outage will be 15:30 your time, so, it's 7:30 now (probably 7:45 by the time you read this) that would mean the server will go offline in about 7 hours 45 minutes .. 15:30 your time...

[Michael]

Or...if TSD is down, you'll know it started. :D
