Owner Real Deal Posted September 6, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I really can't deal with our current memory problems. I am unable to create new team skins because of it, and this will surely be a problem once we bring in our 50 members online at a time (like we have for the last season or two), so because November is approaching, I'm going to find us a semi-dedicated server, or possibly a VPS. Shared hosting is rubbish. No matter how much I try, I can't find a single host that does what they promise AND/OR provides us with what we need. You all will be notified in advance when the move is happening. I'll send out emails and post it here on the forums. It may be next week, could be tomorrow, but our relationship with shared hosting has been about as bad as Bobby and Whitney's, so it's time to upgrade. EDIT: We aren't losing posts, members, our domain name or our board software. Just moving hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 6, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Ah, we're going semi-dedicated. I'll install IPB on their servers tonight, move the database very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Wait, so... we're moving to yet another forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 6, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Wait, so... we're moving to yet another forum? No, a new host. We'll have our content, forum software, domain name, etc...we're not losing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Sounds good. Hopefully it all goes smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcstarheel Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yep, everything will be the same for you guys. Nothing to worry about. Once we start the move we'll get back up very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Oh I see. So the board will just temporarily be unusable while we transfer to a different host, but we keep all of our content, right? Sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 7, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yeah, it should be put back up immediately for a few, maybe a couple of hours for some, maybe two days. It depends on your ISP. Read up on domain propagation (Google it) if you're curious. It's a bit to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope I'm not one of the 2 day people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Sounds good... when will we be changing hosts though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 7, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Working on it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 7, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 There are going to be a few posts lost, between 5:20 AM EST and 11:00 PM EST. Things should be installed and fine for most, and some will have to wait a bit before seeing the forums (due to domain propagation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
