View Full Version : New Server - Site Downtime

10-20-2006, 08:56 PM
We've been talking about upgrading our vBulletin software and our web server for quite a while, and now the time is almost here.
We will be closing the site on Thursday, October 26 at about 6:00 PM to complete both of these tasks at the same time. This will mean a period of approximately 6-8 hours that the forums will not be available while they are upgraded and moved to the new server.
We appreciate your patience during this change-over and we look forward to bringing you a new and improved club website.

You'll live :razz:
I want to start it as soon as I get home from work, that way if any issues come up, I'll have plenty of time to fix them. I'm planning on doing it on Thursday just because Thursday and Friday are the only nights that Garrett is around to "geek it out" with me. When it comes to stuff like this, the only thing Tim is good for is words of encouragement ("Hurry up, ya damn geeks!") and getting more beer :D

The overall appearance won't change much at all. There will be some new features with 3.6.x that we will explain in a sticky here in the Lounge.
There are also 5 or 6 more fun mods I have lined up for the site once the switch over is complete.

You do realize that a 6 pack of some Dogfish costs about the same as a 24 pack of Coors Light cans, right? ;)

No, I'm very picky when it comes to beer. My days of 30 packs of Keystone Premium ended a while ago.....

Heh....like I'm gonna drink that crap :razz:
Yuengling is still only $15 for a 24 pack of bottles at Joe Canals.

Since there seems to be some confusion.....
There is no party in the basement on Thursday night. The immediate future of the site depends on a few hours of serious concentration, and I can't have that with a bunch of drunks running around. :razz:

By "a few hours of concentration" you mean watching stuff upload. This beautiful site was started with beer and a credit card. I say why change that if it seems to work for us? ;)

because distractions and mistakes at this point would lead to a lot bigger problems than a few hours of downtime.
feel free to drink, just not in or around the basement. :p

humm... whenever someone posts a smiley --like mine in my sig-- just comes up as a blue box with a question mark inside of it
Tru2Chevy
10-27-2006, 09:14 AM
The smilies will be fixed soon. I just figured out what the problem was.
Keep using them if you want, when I make the fix, they will all appear again.
