New host coming!

JennaGlatzer · Aug 17, 2005

Hooray! My partner has set us up with a new hosting company just for the forums. We may have to switch urls (instead of absolutewrite.com/forums, it may turn into absolutewriteforums.com or something). But I am pretty sure it won't disrupt anything as far as posts, usernames, etc. This should all happen in the next week. I'll let you know.

Cross your toes for no more down-time and no more glitches!

Ohboyohboyohboy!!! Just don't leave without me. lol

feeling insecure

Don't forget to tell me where you go, OK? I know I haven't been around much this summer, but don't abandon me, please? I love you guys...

JennaGlatzer · Aug 22, 2005

I think it's kinda funny that the mods are worried I'd leave them behind.

Right. Like I'd ever let you go... I'm dragging you there kicking and screaming if I have to! (You must have missed that spot on your contract where it says you're never allowed to leave.)

I really must learn not to sign anything when I'm sleep deprived.

JennaGlatzer · Aug 22, 2005

Lori, I would've just gotten you drunk otherwise, so don't feel bad.

My partner says it'll probably be another week before the forum moves to its new host.

I am practicing patience, but I'm not very good at it yet.

Dawno · Aug 22, 2005

Does this mean that there will be down time? You know I live here, right? I will have to stock up on comfort foods now.

*already getting nervous*

Birol · Aug 22, 2005

The chat room isn't connected to the forums. That's our safe place and emergency meeting spot. Just make certain you know how to reach it if you can't access the link at the top of the forums.

ooh. Good thinking. I have mIRC now and know how to get there without the link. Just make sure the AW withdrawal counselors are there...

MacAllister · Aug 22, 2005

Dawno, but of COURSE! We'd be lost without 'em, too!

JennaGlatzer · Aug 22, 2005

There shouldn't be any down time.

(Famous last words.)

I'll set up the IV bags and the comfy beds.

ChunkyC · Aug 23, 2005

Are we there yet?

Roger J Carlson · Aug 23, 2005

I just heard. Good going, Jenna!

reph · Aug 24, 2005

Are we leaving vBulletin? *clutches rep points to chest; a few spill*

ChunkyC · Aug 25, 2005

Nope. Just puttin' all our papers in a new binder, so to speak. New host = new, more robust hardware to house the forums, and therefore fewer 'black-outs.' Everything should remain the same, except possibly the address to get here. If that doesn't have to change, you might not even notice when the changeover takes effect.

If I get lost, someone please grab my hand and pull me into the dance line with the others.

Dawno, you're a nut.

Love those dancing smilies, Dawno.

Are we there yet?? :Jump:

Dawno · Aug 31, 2005
