We finally have the pieces in place, and were going to hold off until the end of month. However, after yesterday's extended outage, we're forced to move things forward a bit.
We have four separate forums being hosted on the server. Each one will be moved during the week, one per night. I'll be posting the announcements to each of the forums today.
The schedule is as follows:
The moves will be happening overnight, and as late as possible. I am working a new job, and my sleep schedules are affected, so it won't be able to be any later than midnight, Eastern time, when the move occurs.
Expected downtime is about 30 minutes. During this time, the current server and the new server will display a "maintenance mode" message. You are also invited to join us on cschatter.com to get status updates as they are ready to be announced.
Once the migration is complete, DNS changes will be made, the forums reopened, and life can return to normal.
Note that cschatter.com is restricted to using CS logins. If you are using one of the other forums, and wish to join us on cschatter, please create a CS login immediately, and post a reply to this linked thread to have your account set up for chat. This step is important, as new users are on moderation, and moderated users (by default) are not allowed in CS Chat at all.
I apologize for the short notice. I really did want to wait, but the current server is getting worse by the day. We have to make these changes as rapidly as possible.
If you have any questions about this, please either post here or contact Pedersen. The mods might have the answers, but they might have to ask me. Better to go right to the source, I think.
