Our maintenance is complete and we're back online. Users will be trickling in over the next few hours as our new ip propagates across the net.

Nice!










A small tip for the next time is to provide a tinyurl for the "raw" URL for the new server (http://0.0.0.0/~account) so users don't have to wait for full propagation. I'm accessing through the worlds slowest proxy right now, since the DNS' I use haven't been propagated yet :(

TSD Store and Issy's Originals are both back up as of now, for some. It might be awhile for others though, of course. YMMV.

Took awhile after the move. TSD itself was back up for me almost immediately after the move, but not the Store.

That's a bit easier said than done with vbulletin. Even if I had provided a link to the forum, none of the links in our navbars would work (as they would reroute you to the old server since they are all set by url), nor would any of the forums email abilities. I would also run into the problem of pages being indexed improperly by the search engines.

I don't mind you accessing via ip, but I think things will still be a bit of a pain. You can do it, but be aware of the links pointing incorrectly.
The direct IP is
http://72.249.87.50/
http://72.249.87.50/forum

Also, if you're curious, I changed the domain about 19 hours ago, at the very beginning of the outage.


To the rest of you, there are still people out there that do not yet see the forum. Most of your isp's have picked up the change, but there are definitely a few that still can't see us.

Great job, chief! I was surprised we were back as quickly as we were. I figured a server change was a sticky and complicated affair. Thanks for making it happen so smoothly.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again...we are in good hands, y'all! Bobby, you really are "the man!"

Thanks Blair. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but i've had lots of practice in the last 10 months, lol.
