Host Change
« on: September 15, 2008, 01:48:27 PM »
Yet again.

I've been pretty unhappy with the way this current host has performed. Emails (to myself) bouncing with a no-known address message, the email digests bouncing (for the same reason), a myriad of other little niggly things that just annoy the crap out of me. :)

So. I will be moving hosts. I've taken a backup of the files, and as soon as I post this, I'll take a database backup. So any posts after 8pm GMT 9/15/2008 will most likely not make the transition.

I will continue to do backups until the site is off this host.

Also, I think I'll update to pbpBB3 at the transition. I was hoping to wait for the email digest mod to be finished, but with the move, I think this will be the best time.

If anyone has any questions, contact me at eluken at wowway.com (my isp address).

The transfer is in, and will take place in the next 7 days. Hopefully prior to that, as I will be out of town Oct 1-6 with irregular access.

I will continue to make regular backups as I can, and will put them onto the new host. I expect only a couple hours of downtime (famous last words).

Please be aware that any posts made from this point on may be lost. If it is important, save a local copy for repost after the move.
