We're moving to our new host tonight (10/27/06)! Thank you to everyone who suffered through the past 4 weeks of blank pages, database errors and slow loading pages. It is unfortunate and a little disturbing that our old host did nothing to address the problems, but we bit the bullet and moved on for the best of the entire community.

We will take the site down tonight (during FNFF time - 9ish pacific). If you visit you should get a splash page telling you we are moving. Once we take the site down and close the forums we will have to download all of the data from our current server then upload it to our new server. Then we will backup the forum database, make some technical edits so it can then be uploaded to our new server and then upload the database file. Once all of that is done we will change the DNS settings for our domain name (pregamelobby.com) and let it populate out across the net. If all goes well, by tomorrow morning we should be completely up and running on our new server.

For testing purposes we've had an old version of the site (from a couple of days ago) up and running on the new server and it is faster than here and seems to be doing just fine. Thanks for bearing with us everyone!

Thanks P-Money, and everyone else that connects these series of tubes that make up the Internets.

Fragmintz · 10-27-2006, 03:01 PM

Mazel tov - still the same web address right?

dmiller68 · 10-27-2006, 03:04 PM

It should look and feel just like today including the same URL... Hopefully without all the issues.

blars · 10-27-2006, 04:34 PM

Good to hear.

I've heard the only real change that will be evident is that Brew's member title will show as "FNFF punching bag".

Jon Liu · 10-27-2006, 08:06 PM

I'm ready to go! I'm packed! Just sitting here waiting!!

are we there yet??

dmiller68 · 10-27-2006, 09:22 PM

We are goin down at 8:30pm PST... Just a warning.

Peench · 10-28-2006, 01:18 AM

Well we've moved everything (we hope) over to the new server and have uploaded the databases and whatnot. We've switched over the DNS and if you are reading this is apparently done.

Looks like everything is running smoothly, but please post if you notice any weirdness. So far all I've seen is smooooooth sailing! I love it!

Many huge thanks for Dmiller for getting us up and running so smoothly. He's been battling a huge cold for over a week and stayed up extra late tonight making sure to put the finishing touches on getting us moved over.

Here's to the new server:

Better that than being the target in an all male gangbang, BLARS!

Edit: LOL, submitting a post takes 1 second now and not 7 - 25. This is soooooo much better.

CamDawg · 10-28-2006, 05:37 AM
