Server migration coming up - forum might be down for a bit!
Posted: Thu Oct 03, 2013 1:17 pm
We are almost done with the biggest behind the scenes change here is quite some time - a full server migration. Soon the forum (most of everything else we do is already done) will be migrated to brand new hardware in the "Cloud" (which is really just semantics - if there was ever an industry buzz term that was useless... but I digress) -
There may be 2 issues -
1. You might not be able to get to the site at all for a brief period during the DNS change -
2. The forum itself will be locked to any new posting for maybe a few hours. I am trying to plan this for overnight, probably either Sat. or Sun.
That should be all that happens, and probably only 2 of you will notice anything (you know who you are!)
- so far we have moved about 40 sites without any major issues, but Virgin Islands On Line and Caribbean On Line, the two most active and largest will be the last two to go... so you can all cross your fingers for me.
That is all -
Thanks,
Anthony
