    This is not a roleplaying thread.

    Post here only if you have questions or if you are irrationally worried and in need of counseling, please.

    Got it.

    I do have a question, actually.

    Will we mess something up if we try to log on during the move?

    You won't be able to access the boards, as they will be offline, so no. We are basically unplugging the server, copying everything to a new and faster server, and then plugging in the new one.

    You're going to be fired if you don't put up a graphic during the outage advertising that you're on a pizza run. ;)

    Lot of this in the thread:



    So JoinTheSchwarz, in the event it takes a long time and things go pear shaped, am I correct in understanding that GrandAdmiralJello is the sacrificial lamb of the Admin team? That being blamed for this event is part of his hazing ritual?

    If so, understood, and I'll excute Operation Damocles as soon as I can.

    There is a risk of this whole thing going down tomorrow of all days? My birthday is really going to suck. I really am a target around here! X(

    Restoring truncated posts too? (it was worth a shot... :p )


    I saved a few dozen threads to one of my internet favorites folders over the years. Will they still work?

    I'm in the same timezone as LAJ_FETT , so not the same one as the Boards.

    Please can you give a count of hours to the deadline, so I have an idea when the Boards will go down, since different people experience "tomorrow in the morning" or "later in the morning" at different times.

    No, I can't really give you a specific time, but it's always safe to assume that we are talking about the Boards' timezone. So between six to ten hours from now, but don't hold me to that.

    Wow you guys really have no faith do you? I'm going to make this one as smooth as possible, but you have a lot of data and because of that it takes a long time to copy. I could always purge a few years of posts to make the move faster? ;). I'll be starting around 6am EST (11am for team Limey) and tests show that it will take around 3-4 hours to copy the data. DNS will also be updated and that can take a few hours to propagate but they will happen simultaneously.

    I won't be enabling ElasticSearch right away until we get a handle on the new server performance. Any questions?

    P.S. If a new trailer comes out tomorrow, let's talk about it on the playground during recess.

    If push comes to shove, I can give you a list of posters to be pruned first. O:)
