Re: Expect downtime during the coming weekend
I missed the takedown notice for this weekend...Suffice to say I got a BIG shock when tried to log on.  My first thought was something along the lines of "OH GOD, HLP IS DEAD!!!" 

I look forward to checking out the site on its new server.  It really does seem like the whole thing went off without a hitch.  'Grats Fury.   :D

Bush (Verb) -- To do stupid things with confidence.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Bumper stickers at my college:
"Republicans for Voldemort!"
"Frodo failed.  Bush got the Ring."

Re: Expect downtime during the coming weekend
Things are looking smooth on this end.  Oh, and thanks for putting a link to the IP address on the temp page; it's easier than copy/pasting the address every time. :p

 
Re: Expect downtime during the coming weekend
another problem: some of the links beginning with http://www.hard-light.net..... can't be opened. I tried to substitute "hard-light.net" with "64.92.160.252", but worked only in one or two occasions.

Just wait until hard-light.net points to the new server.

Yeah, we were leaving the forums configured to point to the IP for a bit until the DNS propagated sufficiently, which I think it has. I've switched it back over now.

"...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

Re: Expect downtime during the coming weekend
The only problem I see is the html in Sandwich's user title, but that may be on purpose/not related to server move.

Re: Expect downtime during the coming weekend
Yeah, I need to fix that; it's not related to the move though.

I've heard from some people that the DNS hasn't propagated where they are yet, so I've switched the forums back to using the IP for now.

That just causes more problems. :p I'm logged in at hard-light but all the links use the IP, so I get logged out if I click them.  Also, the QUOTE button doesn't seem to work.

Just bear with it another 12 hours or so.

Quite likely browser cache/cookie issue. :p

DNS has propogated for me.

I'd post instructions for how to edit a hosts file and go ahead and flip it to the domain.

Only 3 hours to go before I change everything to use hard-light.net instead of IP anyway.
