Site Server Move

[chrisvonc]

The site will be switching over to its new server during the upcoming week. Right now there is a mirror copy of the site up and running and a few more tests to complete before the full cut over takes place.

Immediately, there wont be any appearance differences. This is a complete physical move of the site as you see it now, to a completely new server and hosting company. After settled in, the backlog of updates will start to be processed as well as the list of new features and sections addressed.

Server Move - Please Read!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As announced earlier in the "Site News & Announcements" section, the site is going to physically move to a new server. The site is already up and running on the new server and all that remains is to grab a last backup of the forum, update it on the new server, and then change the DNS entries.

This change may start as early as this Friday night (03/24/06) and may take a few days for the DNS changes to take effect depending on where you are located. During this process, all sections controlled by the database back-end on the current server, will remain off-line after the last back up is run and will display a message informing people that the switch over is taking place.

Once you start hitting the new server, you will no longer see that message and once again be able to use the forums.
