Quick notice about the forum

**aspkin** · #1 05-07-2007

I'm currently working on a database move to a new server. The forum may be down 30-60 minutes while DNS switches. I got a dedicated server.

Nice to hear Aspkin!

Should I be saving favorite threads right about now or you sure no messages will be lost?

Lol, I'm not sure. I've never had to move a database bigger then 2mb. The forum database is still pretty new, but it's at almost 10mb right now. So I have to use a new method to import it. SSH. I'm still trying to figuring that out now, but as of now I think I have it down. I'll have to wait until tomorrow though to import the database to the new server, apparently my host won't allow me to backup the current database more then once per day.. And so if I don't want to lose new post I'll have to wait.

Hopefully everything will be moved and configured within 24 hours. Damn phpmyadmin is making it harder then it should be. Oh well.

Aha! Is that why I've been getting a corrupted address for the past 2 days? Was driving me crazy! Couldn't get into the site and I even tried to post on the "Aspkin's World" a time or two (although looks like it didn't actually post). lol

Anyway, glad it was just a temporary downtime.
