Impending Forum Diaspora!

Post by arclight »

It's that time of the universe again where I have to move the forums to another machine,

The good news is that the machine they're moving to is fast, roomy, and luxurious, like a Mercedes.

I'm moving it sometime this week, probably late at night, so don't get too freaked.

Reason: I need to scrape and pave the server that all the web stuff is on because the disks were set up badly when I originally built it out (there's about 10GB conveniently available out of three disks in the machine.) There aren't any stability issues; I just want to clean this box up and I only have the GGG site, the wiki, and the forums left to move.

It's a done deal; if you know someone that is having trouble getting to the forums, tell them to use http://forum10.austinimprov.com/ until the DNS change propagates.

Windows users can open a DOS session (click Start, then Run Command, type "cmd" then click the button to make it go) and use

Code: Select all

ipconfig /flushdns
to whisk away all the out-of-date DNS info. Then the forums should be visible as normal. Or you can wait until your machine refreshes its DNS cache and the little gnomes in your computer let you read the forums again.
