Title: Possibility of Downtime
Post by: Ross on July 23, 2013, 03:06:19 PM

Hey all, just a little notice for you that our forums are being transferred to an upgraded server at some point in the next 48-72 hours. During the transfer there may be a short amount of downtime but rest assured it will all be back up and running as soon as possible.

As of 16:15 on the 26th of July 2013, this transfer has been completed.

Not that I know of, I just got an email to let me know it was happening haha. I guess they got new machines and are slowly moving everybody over to them.

Haha I know eh. Was quite surprised with how quick it happened. I got the email to say it was starting and not three minutes later I got an email to say it was completed. :)

Maybe it took days but they had a time machine and went back to only 3 minutes later and then told you it was finished. BUT it actually took days! *mind blows*

Yeah, they had network issues at one of their data centres and all of their servers housed there went down. Since it wasn't a planned thing I couldn't let you know haha.

They have warned that we may experience intermittent access and slowness until services are fully restored. So if it happens again you know why. :)
