Author Topic: Add Your Screen Name To The List To get Auto Updates When the Server Is Back Up (Read 6465 times)

Dr.Maxwe001 · « **on:** Oct 06, 2008, 11:40:50 AM »

We are moving our entire website to a new faster, more stable server!

We will have to shut everything down either Wednesday or Thursday, so expect a couple hours of downtime during the move! Thanks! BigMike

this thread is just to encourage guests to create an account so they will be included on an email to all members when the site is back up after the migration.

I am starting this thred so that everyone will know that the New and Improved "STABLE SERVER" is up and running Ill be the first to sign it

If all your asking for is a screen name, how do you plan to notify anyone outside of the forum itself? If we have to log into the forum to be told its working then...

I'll survive until I get time to check the status, but figured I'd ask the questions for others.

Mike can send out a board wide email stating that it's back up and running... Might just recommend that

Rather than sifting through everyone to find specific folks. Just a thought

Plus, I don't get email notifications for PM's so it wouldn't do any good to PM me regarding the update LOL!!

Thanks Mike, lookin forward to seeing how the move goes!

Jeff, don't you think if BigMike wanted to do this he would have started the thread himself?? not to mention the fact he has every members email and would send a notification if it was necessary which its not because the URL will be the same

Doesn't BigMike have the ability to email everyone that has an email listed in their profile? I know Glen sends mass (not the entire board membership) emails from time to time.

FINE THEN I SEE THAT I AM NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE WITH THIS $I\'m Down$

BigMike · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 07, 2008, 01:18:14 PM »

The forum itself has a newsletter feature where I can send a letter to every registered member with one mouse click.

But this won't be necessary.

I expect less than 4 hours of downtime because the same machine where our current nameserver is stored will be used again with our updated nameserver. That means the update will be broadcasted across the internet in a very short time interval. Only some remote corners of the internet will take maybe 5 or 6 hours to get their namecache updated.

At this time I do not know what time of day the transfer will be made. But it shouldn't take too long at all.

The forum will be put into Maintenance Mode during the transfer to ensure no content is lost during the process.

Thanks
Mike

I just don't know what I will do without MC for a few hours, hmm let me think.

I just might go over to Pirate and cuss like a sailor for a while.

I can figure out when it's back up............

My only request is a post of when you're going to start so I'm not in the middle of something when you go down.

A shoutbox "GET OUT OF THE POOL" would be nice too....

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 07, 2008, 09:06:04 PM »

Yeah I hate when that happens.
