Expect downtime during the coming weekend
on: November 17, 2006, 12:39:10 am
With any luck, we can finally commence moving to a new server later today. The server in question is the same that is currently hosting Game Warden. http://www.game-warden.com

Downtime, if everything goes smoothly will be  approximately 2 days and HLP will be back in business on Sunday. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Don't worry, we're capable of destruction on a far greater scale than that. We can destroy HLP and create a new community of disgruntled ex-hosted staff members!

All the better, maybe people actually get something done during that downtime. :p
In reality, it wouldn't be either of our choice if we could afford it.

Understood.

Hmm, methinks I should go download some of the pages off the wiki later. Might need to refer to them if I'm playing with my tables during the downtime... :)

The move is now complete, everything seems to work. Don't hesitate to inform the admins if you see something not functioning as they did before Friday. Now we just need to wait for DNS to update and point to this new server.

A day ahead of schedule, nice :) Everything seems to work and is pretty responsive, tried the wiki, main page and the private scp forums and it's behaving as it's supposed to. And unlike the last server move, this time I can't see any private forums that I'm not supposed to see. Good job :yes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well, one problem. Minor one. The 'last post' for each forum on the index page also shows posts from private forums I don't have access to.

Currently I can see post titles from the WSC, MG, MT, BWO, TBP and TAP private forums. The posts are still inaccessible though, and the nested forums don't actually show up if I go to the relevant forum. So not a big deal... as long as noone puts anything secret in a post title, at least, as that would show up for everyone.

For some reason this seems to pop up every now and then and then disappears as suddenly as it appeared. It's a small bug in SMF somewhere, or could be a side effect of using older RC2 templates.

It was also that way before the server move, I'm pretty sure I saw a few one and were not allowed to view them.

Congrats to the quick move guys, I found no bigger problems so far (it's a little slower than before, but not so much that it would disturb)

I wouldn't exactly call that a problem. I mean, would you deny the benefits of being able to see such interesting topic titles as "Instances of rape among oranges"?

Exemplary work as always, lads. Although I really can't put my finger on exactly what they are, the small changes here and there really make the whole place a lot smoother and user-friendly. :yes:
