Thread: PGL will be down for a couple of days

Everyone can start crying now. In what has to be the most horrible timing ever, our host has determined to move us to a new server. Sure they have had this thing in the works for a year and sure it should have been done months ago, but unfortunately we're due for migration now.

In a move that puts cable companies and plumbers to shame, we have been given the following window for when the 'upgrade' will take place:

Window start: October 18, 2007
Window end: October 20, 2007

We'll be down for possibly three days. To ensure that we don't lose any data, we will be shutting down PGL late on October 17 (or early 10/18 for you East Coast members), and it will remain down until we are sure that the migration has gone smoothly and that all data is back up and running.

Without a 360 to play and without PGL to peruse, I'm not sure what I am going to do with myself. I'd go outside and play, but it has been rainy and odd here lately. So I will probably just sit in a chair and throw wads of paper at my kids as they run around the room.

So that's the bad news. The good news in all of this is that we are being migrated into a new/different company and a completely new server. We'll still be on a shared server (hopefully not shared with jerkys that crash the server all the time), but the new machine has dual 5130 Xeon processors, and 4GB RAM. I'd contrast that with the specs of our current machine, but they never told us what that was. Suffice it to say they probably wouldn't be advertising the new specs if they weren't better than the old ones.

So like a Phoenix, PGL will arise from a 3 day down time better than ever (or so we hope). Keep your fingers crossed for us that we come through this migration unscathed and that we are back up and running without any hiccups.

We here at the ever-growing PGL family will miss you during this short time offline. See you all soon!

ps - FNFF, the final nights of the HOTSOS tourney and any other tourneys will still take place. We'll just have to postpone talking about them until we are back up and running.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I'd like to reiterate this last little thing. HoT:SoS goes on as planned. Play your matches as scheduled on Friday night and make up any unfinished prior matches by Saturday night. When we come back online, we'll wrap it all up.

WTF! No PGL for a few days? I guess I'll have to play more on my 360.

Don't listen to the lies...Peench is just doing this because his 360 is dead and he can't find his Elite.

Isn't that more like we will rise from the dead like Jesus?

I am scared. Everyone is going to leave to start a website where it is just Wonder, Keezy, Quo, Zoom, and Epyon. Just like they want.

If only I had thought of this sooner!! haha. I'm gonna go make a smoothie with my Vitamix. That thing rocks!

Worm - ouch, way to rub it in!!!

Wonder - don't tempt me, I have nothing else to do... oh wait, I have a PS3 and Wii that I can play. Never mind, I'm gonna go do some wicked cool ish on the XMediabar on my PS3.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Oh well. At least I can stare and listen to this for a few days. Ahhh...relaxing...

On a side note, i hope that ban of Rhino Chaser and Peench goes smoothly.

WHAT!!!! I guess I'll spend the next few days checking out all the special features on the TF HD-DVD. See you all in a few days.....

Zombo.com... what a weird friggin site. I kept waiting for a zombie to pop up on the screen with a loud scream or something.

Hope it goes smoothly.

You love us, you do. I'd love to play Halo 3 with you, but you're never on. Hkrum!

It will just make us appreciate PGL even more! It looks like that Peench/Rhino/Pictures site is being moved to another server too. Coincidence? Nope.

Feels like we are all getting ready for some downtime on the other side. See you all when we swing back into the warmth of the sun!

Boom

one word, "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I've sent friend invites to most of the members of the Facemelters. I hope to still be able to play them tomorrow.

I don't understand how you can just arbitrary just do this to me, Peench. I mean I spend hours a day here. What's going to happen to them, Peench? Did you think about that? Did you think about the children of those hours? Children, Peench! CHILDREN! *further hysterics*




Cool. I'll be happy when it's back up.

For me, I don't know how that would be possible. My 360 is about to have a heat stroke from all the work it's been doin'!

Did I miss it?
