LR90 Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Well I'm pleased to announce that the kind generosity of our members has enabled us to retain our independence and commit to a shiny new dedicated server hosted by Invision. The server is now in place and it is planned to move the board across tomorrow at 9:00EDT or 13:00GMT (if I've got that right). There WILL be some downtime while the forum is shutdown and data copied/checked and I've been advised this could be 2-3 hours so please be patient. If its not back up in that time I think you can assume we're still working on it Quote
bishbosh Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Excellent news! Best of luck wth the move.... do we need to pack anything....? Quote
Les Henson Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 The response from members, moderators, and Admins was absolutely oustanding. In 48-hours we had recieved almost enough for a whole years costs - with some from what we had already in the gin fund. All the suggestions that people made in the original thread will be discussed at length in the A&M forum. You will all get to hear of any announcements in due course. Thanks once again. Les. Quote
TJ101 Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Got to be the way forward, all the best with the move, hope to see you all later In 48-hours we had recieved almost enough for a whole years costs - with some from what we had already in the gin fund. Les. Les, would be interested to now, just how much the new system will cost the forum, say over 1 12 month period ( if its been said before, sorry, but must have miss it ) Thanks for all the work the admins are/will be putting in Quote
Guest diesel_jim Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 There WILL be some downtime while the forum is shutdown and data copied/checked and I've been advised this could be 2-3 hours so please be patient. /pacing up and down, biting nails, twitching perfously/ oooohhh... what am i going to do???? 3 hours...... i might have to do proper work instead....

dollythelw Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 wash you mouth out Jim!! proper work.......... disgusting! will the new server be powered from a renewable energy source? Quote
GBMUD Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 will the new server be powered from a renewable energy source? From what I have heard about the cost of it, it must be powered by burning forum funds! Chris Quote
siearl Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Thats great news, my pennies will be on there way shortly Quote
V8 Freak Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Ooooo.. The anticipation.... Too much to take... I'm going to lie down for a while.... Quote

headhunter Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 So has it happened then? Could not log on at 12.45 so was it then. John Quote
Coastcard Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Nor me and it's going a hell of a lot faster now. Quote
Mark Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Yep, we are all nicely settled on our new server now. Quote
pugwash Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 i received 3 PMs whilst the forum was down. did some have acces and some didn't? Quote
sheeppimp Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 TBH didn't even notice the down time and think i was on around the time it was happening? Quote
LR90 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Posted May 3, 2007 Yep, we've moved. Nice dual core machine all to ourselves which should give us a bit of head room. Full credit has to go to Invision for carrying out the move so smoothly. Quote
pugwash Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 does this mean i can have a bigger PM box please? people keep sending me questions about shirts? **** knows what they're talking about- i'm on holiday in the costa del sol. Quote
Les Henson Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 So you're that fat guy in the next sun lounger - I did wonder. Viva la forum gin fund! Les. Quote
pugwash Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 So you're that fat guy in the next sun lounger - I did wonder. that's a bit presumptuous, i might be a greek adonis. I might be the next brad Pitt- it's dangerous just going round calling people fat. in this case you would be right though. Quote
