Just another update:

I'm just submitted a request to my current webhost to move 3 of my domains across, including my primary site, when that happens, access to this site could be temporary lost for a little while, if it does, don't worry, it will be back A.S.A.P.

D.J.P · « **Reply #41 on:** November 25 2006, 12:27 pm »

Forums re-enabled for the time being.

This close was to allow the site to be moved safetly to a new server (within the my current web host systems not the 'big move')

Unfortunately its taking too long, so I'm reopening the site, however be warn this site could drop out for a while when the move does take place.

The delays are driving me up the wall...well, maybe not as much as SLi but you get the picture.

D.J.P · « **Reply #43 on:** November 25 2006, 02:52 pm »

Update here (too many updates

)

The move will take place this weekend sometime (hopefully)

Host is waiting on activation of the control panel software before moving my account.
(finally a valid reason for a delay

)

umm.. excuse me... how long is the forums going to be closed when the 'final' moving is taking place?

D.J.P · « **Reply #45 on:** November 25 2006, 04:10 pm »

two/three days at the max. Typical DNS propagation (which tells your comp how to get to the site) takes around 24 hours.

Then the time for me to upload everything to the new server.

So, yeah, around two to three days.

Ah, the inveitable forum shifting.

I hate doing these things.

~Bloody_Rose~ · « **Reply #47 on:** November 25 2006, 10:14 pm »

I was almost thinking the same thing, as another one of the forums I frequent (Neo-Geo Forum) has been down since Thursday. I only go to about 5-6 forums but I go to them quite a bit so having 2 of them down was a little hard

When this is all said and done, you'll find it was well worth the time and patience

Robin Sena · « **Reply #49 on:** November 26 2006, 12:35 am »

Err... I have worse.

Down for a month! Ouch!

D.J.P · « **Reply #50 on:** December 01 2006, 06:44 pm »

Well finally after 4 days of bugging my host, the domain pointers have been altered.

This site is now on a new server (note: this wasn't the big move).

I've fixed up all display errors, and I don't think any posts or stuff was lost in the move process.

Apologies for the extended downtime but it was out of my hands.

im like that too. im a member of ALOT of sites, mst bords, and when some are down, or have no updates in several hours i get very bored and anoyed XD

Mairi · « **Reply #52 on:** December 01 2006, 07:28 pm »

A post I made was lost in the move, I think. >_> Unless it was deleted around the same time, but I'm fairly certain it was on-topic for the thread.

I'm glad the forums are back up though~ Hurray. =D

(Edit - yeah, post was definitely lost, along with a cookie. Bleh. I guess there's no way to recover that post? The cookie was nice, but I'll have to consider that just gone as well.)

That's been a long wait, but it looks like it was worth it

Ando · « **Reply #54 on:** December 01 2006, 08:38 pm »

I seem to have lost a post as well, but it's no biggie. I'm glad the forums are back - good work, SLi.

Sabbe-chan · « **Reply #55 on:** December 02 2006, 12:58 am »

Yay!! The forums are back!! *happy*
Thank you SLi, nice job!

Sandra-chan · « **Reply #56 on:** December 02 2006, 01:02 am »

Good that the forums are back up, thank you

Another Update:

Been in contact with LW, and the domain will be pointed to the new server soon. When that happens you will get a nice page saying so

Also the e-mail domain: web.de and any coming from .ru have been banned from accessing the site due to SpamBots.
If you are a legitimate user with a web.de or .ru e-mail address post in the Help Board (guest access allowed) with your username and I'll change your e-mail to a temporary one so you can log in again.

Sorry for this, but it has to be done to help reduce the appearance of SpamBots

D.J.P · « **Reply #58 on:** December 05 2006, 08:54 am »

FYI: .info e-mail domains are now banned also for the same reason as above.

D.J.P · « **Reply #59 on:** January 13 2007, 02:26 pm »

I know its been a while.

I'd hoped to have the new system up, but me having the flu slowed me down and then the converter would not work properly.

So until its working properly, I've brought the original system back online.

The site is now on its new server finally, hopefully we will see a marked improvement in site performance.

Update: fixed bug causing the forum not to display (white screen or connection error)
