Forum move and possible outage - read me!

[stryd_one]

In case you didn't notice this:

News: Warning!! Within 48 hours the forum will be moved to another server. Because we also get a new ip, dns needs to propagate. So Midibox and the wiki will be offline for a few days. I know it is irritating but it is for the benefit of us all. Apologies for any inconvience.

This also adresses the people i host.

If you have any problems or questions please drop me an email s t r y d . o n e @ g m a i l . c o m

(cut out the anti-spam spaces)

thanks for the warning!

are you taking over the server? 

arrr.... ;D

Few DAYS!?

What do I do at work during that time ???

Euhm make some money for the company :D

Euhm make some money for the company :D

Actually that's what I'm doing right now, making them money by doing nothing at all. This company just scams employment office for support money, by "hiring" as much people they can to idle at their "workplace".

This big waste of time is my punishment for not continuing my studies this year :P

[cimo]

... so is there any IRC channel we can use? (same old question)

[Narwhal]

Can you post the new IP address?  :P  I can type numbers instead of the URL.  We don't need no stinkin' DNS.  ;D

[nILS]

OMG. Multiple days?! Wuaaaah!

Well, um, my suggestion (just for the time the forum may be down) would be gamesurge, #midibox (irc.gamesurge.net:6667).

[MTE]

Few days without newspaper ? I hope I can survive...  ;D

Indeed, just post the new IP before the move shuts this forum down please.

Yeah, post the new IP here RIGHT THE SECOND before it gets shut down! ;D

[flo]

;D

C'mon Twinny, you can just send a PM to everyone with the new IP address... People can then hack their hosts file, if they know what they're doing... ;D

[stryd_one]

That's why I volunteered my email address - if anyone's ISP sucks and doesn't update their DNS regularly, I'll show them how they can fix it  :)

[Twin-X]

I don't even know the new ip myself so  ;D

[nILS]

As soon as you know it - how about sending it to me via eMail? I could host a redirection script that forwards the user to the new IP ;-)

OMG you guys are wasted. Time to setup midibox rehab clinic.  ;D

[stryd_one]

Hehehehe :D

Nah, we're just trying to make sure that when things go offline, the addicts bother us, and not you :)

[stryd_one]

We're baaack.

Thanks Twinny!

Edit: and I don't think we lost any posts at all!

[nILS]

Some posts got lost (the ones posted right before the outtage).

I've opened a new "we're back thread". I'd be interested to hear what people did, while they couldn't feed their addiction :-)

Really? I had 6 posts in 'unread', right before the outage, and 6 posts there, afterwards....

My information was based on hearsay :-)
