Scheduled Maintenance: Sunday 24th of November

[LiroyvH]

Hello everyone,

Please be advised that we're scheduling maintenance on the 24th of November 2013 for migrating all our servers to another facility.
At present, we're looking at late Sunday evening into Monday morning (0:00AM (midnight) to 6:00AM (EST/GMT -5)).
We're trying to limit the impact and will hopefully be able to provide a more finite timeframe later today or tomorrow.

The migration should take less than 1 hour, however: total downtime might be longer, please expect 3 up to 4 hours just to be sure.
During this time all systems, including but not limited to downloads and our community, will be unavailable.

Please keep in mind that Simple Machines is not responsible for any withdrawal symptoms!

Thanks for your understanding.


Regards,
Server Team

Good luck, with that, my ol' china!

I'll still be asleep, of course. If you need any help, don't hesitate to not call me.


(Like I'd be of any use, anyway)

Good luck and God speed to the server team.

Everything works great this morning. I am on the other side of the world! So I am sure everything went off well

Thanks all!

The maintenance has been successfully completed and we're back in action.
It took 2 hours longer than expected, but all is back up now.

Thank you for your patience!

Odd that it only just came back, here, innit?

Ta, for all the work, gents. MUCH appreciated.

[kat]

Just for info... I've been getting a lot of the ol' "Due to high stress.." messages, for the last hour, or so.

[Arantor]

Me too :/

[kat]

I bet you said "I know how it feels"...

[Arantor]

Yes, had a fair few of those in meatspace (as opposed to cyberspace) lately. But I learned not to care about people who don't deserve a disproportionate amount of my (limited) sympathies.

Unfortunately I can't apply the same to servers. Except with threatening them with axes and warning them that if they don't do as I ask, they'll get a reprogramming they'll never forget.

"Arantor Beeblebrox" has a certain ring to it, you know...

Still getting high stress errors.

It's been weird, today. Quite a few stress errors. Yet, at other times, it's been faster than I can ever remember it.

I bet it's those pesky gremlins, again.
