AW Server Move Announcement
Dear Absolute Write Members:
You’ve probably noticed some slow downs on Absolute Write. We’re going to have to move our server. Now, while the server is being moved, we WILL set up a temporary www.absolutewrite.com site.
The temporary site will be a bit different; for one thing, it won’t be running on our own server. Things will be a little slower. We may have to turn off the automatic mailing of thread subscriptions and PMs (they’ll work just fine when we turn them back on; you don’t have to do anything). We ask for your patience for a couple of weeks until we’re back home on our own box.
Between the time we disconnect the old server and the temporary home goes live, there may be a gap of a few hours. We’ll try to avoid that.
We expect to be at the temporary home for a couple of weeks, possibly less. You’ll use the same address to reach AbsoluteWrite.com (http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/) but your bookmarks might not work.
We realize this is inconvenient, but we figured y’all would be in mourning if we didn’t save all your Rep points.
When AW is temporarily unavailable, you can write, or hang out in the AW Chat room, or on AW’s sister forum Written in Stone. You might want to create an account at Written in Stone now, just in case. If you use your AW name, it will make it easier for folks to find you.
We’ll be posting updates via Twitter and Facebook and on WiS. Here are some addresses:
AW Chat room: http://www.starchat.net/chat/?chan=absolutewrite
AW Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/AbsoluteWrite/103771526334620
AW Twitter feed: (@absolutewrite): http://twitter.com/AbsoluteWrite
Written In Stone: http://www.macallisterstone.com/forums/ If you're registering there for the first time, please put the name "MacAllister" in the referral form - it will help us know you're not a spammer
I'll be updating this thread, as I have more information for you. Cheers!
