OFFLINE...

I am moving the board to a new host since these idiots shut the board down last night...

They say the file system is to big...

I will keep this updated through the day as to what is going on...

UPDATE:

The board is in the progress of moving but will most likely not be back on line until some point tomorrow simply because of the size of the data bases.

I will update this blog but not until tomorrow as that is the soonest I will have a better handle on how the move is going...

Sorry about the down time but due to this shit host just shutting the site down at 3AM without a single warning or any notice at all leaves me in a position where there is not much I could do.

I think this new host will be much better than where the site was and most likely 99% more dependable...

11 AM Saturday:

As expected the transfer speeds from this garbage host are about ridiculous and International speeds are even worse so this is taking longer than expected. The board will be going up soon but the file system will have to propagate over the next day or so. I will make a post on the board as soon as it goes back up...


UPDATE:

The transfer is still not done...

Hopefully soon...

6PM EST

UPDATE:

I just changed the nameservers over so the site should be coming back up soon. As soon as the nameserver changes propagte through all of the DNS servers the site will be available...

Yeah, just what I needed. Well I am done with these muppets and I am working on the new host as we speak. I will update this in an hour or two as to what is going on. Putting the forums back up is easy. Transferring the file system is not so easy. It will take time to move this file system....

Sorry to hear the situation SM.
Can't believe they shut down without warning... Just unreal.

Thanks chi and no biggie. It was time to move anyway because they have turned into a carp host at any rate. The board is moving now and should be back on line some time early tomorrow my time. Which is EST by the way...
