Chris J Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm going to be moving the forum (and the rest of the site) to a new host in the coming weeks. Sadly, this means there may be some significant downtime while this is carried out. We've never had to move the forum to a new server when it's been this large, so I don't have any idea how difficult a task it's going to be. But I'm estimating a good two or three days of downtime... knowing this site and its luck it could well be more... while everything is moved over. I'll give more details nearer the time, but the process will most likely begin within the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience of this, but hopefully it'll mean we'll be able to start the new year on a newer, faster host with less downtime and less IPB Server Errors. And that can only be good.

Zetti Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh well. No BTTB for a few days, good for revising not good for boredom but if it means a faster site then yayy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Downtime = Chance to do other things. I’m currently off work but at times have had a tendency to just sit at my computer and spend time on BTTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerise Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I just realised what an amazing thing this is... I wouldnt even be that active this week! I have 12 parties to attend! Downtime = Partytime is my new equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skykat Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Can I just recommend that any fanfic authors, graphic makers etc back up their work on their own PCs. I doubt we'll actually lose anything but if in the unlikely case that we do, at least you have your things to repost them. Please pass word on to the people who's work you regulary read, look at etc also. Like I say it's unlikely but I'd rather everyone took precautions rather than lose precious work. Thanks.

grumble bum Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I am going on holidays so it should not be a problem for me. I will be off line for about 2 weeks from the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whispered_envy Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is probably a perfect time to do it anyway, because heaps of people will be doing things with their family for Christmas. Good luck to you guys- hope it all runs smooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
