    Server change and move (Important)

    Hi guys,

    Due to a bit of a geographical issue, I've been forced to transition WTF RPG onto a new server, closer to where I am. I can't fix it, if I can't get to it, right?

    This however means downtime. The move will go something like this... I'll be setting up the new server at my house, and then transitioning the current site onto it. This will (hopefully) only cause a short downtime of maybe an hour. Thankfully, I've got a particularly fast connection to my house (100mbit) so page load times shouldn't be affected.

    After the initial move, there will be a second move. This will involve me transporting the server to the datacenter. The downtime for this, could be up to around two hours. I'll try to space the two transitions out a little.

    All of this will happen this weekend, at my convenience. I'll do my best to keep disruption to a minimum.

    There is still one more part of the move left. Hoping to get that done this evening, but, it looks like all the data and everything transitioned fine!

    awesome that it all transferred and the final transfer will probably happen after I'm in bed unless you are intending to do it right away xp. (It's like after 9 pm my time). I'm sure every thing will go well and that the new location will make things easier on you, but good luck with the final move and thanks again.

    Definitely want to put in my own thanks for giving warning beforehand^^ Most of the time admins tend to do that sort of thing without warning, and you didn't have to let us know, so I know I think it's totally awesome of you to warn us^^

    Dammit After everything was moved (and working) I went out for the night. But something crashed, and the auto repair process I have, didn't work correctly, due to the file paths changing with some of the updates. Bleh.

    I normally get notifications of downtime, but because of all the server changes I made (multiple sites), I must have overlooked this one. The issue occurred about two hours after everything was running, so I was already a few drinks into a fun night.

    You're welcome I'm just glad the site data all transitioned smoothly. I'd hate to have lost posts or something.
