That's why I'm staying in SMF... You guys doing something because you want to.

I salute you with all my respect and thank you for your all hard work :)

Thans Derek, Liroy and SleePy for the great job. :)

Thank you liroy, derek, and SleePy.  We look forward to hearing when the RAID controller is replaced, and everything can get back to normal.

Everything is fully functional at this point.  We will be repairing and rebuilding the file server with the hardware issue and ultimately moving the data back to that box, which has more disks and IP capacity than the file server we are currently on.

Yes, manually dealing with dedicated servers is crazy.

LiroyvH

Lol, someone has to do it :P


Anyway, we are going offline again tomorrow to proceed with the upgrades!
We do not have a estimate time as it depends on various factors. We can also not exactly predict how long it will be offline for, but please expect it to take a couple of hours.

In the meanwhile, you may always visit our backup board for urgent issues :)

Thank you

Due to planning issues we unfortunately have to postpone the maintenance.

We will hopefully proceed tomorrow instead of today.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

We will keep you posted :)

When you can get GoDaddy to deal with your 4+ dedicated systems (with multiple virtual instances on nearly all boxes) with special internal networking configuration and over 4mbit of constant traffic, then you can say that. As it is, their hosting solutions can barely keep a small shared website operating.

simplemachines.org isn't some small website, you know. It's well into where you can throw around the word "enterprise" and not look like a total moron.

they like to think so but i wouldn't consider them a serious host.
so don't use them to host your site, you'll regret it eventually.
keep smiling, they'll always wonder what your up too.....

Please be advised we are planning on moving forward this Thurdsay.
Please keep in mind this is not definite, though it is approximately 90% sure we will be moving forward.

Simple Machines will be completely unreachable during the upgrades.
Updates will be posted to twitter and to some extent to Facebook.

Thank you for your ongoing patience in the matter :)
We want this fixed as much as all of you do ;)

After some trouble at the beginning, we are back online now :)
Powered by more servers and a new configuration.

Please be advised we are !not! 100% finished yet.
There's one big task left, though you should only notice a few minutes downtime from that, most likely tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience! :)

Thank you to:

- myself I guess :p
