Popular Post Sly Ripper Posted November 3, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2012 We're moving to our new server very soon, I'm about to transfer all of the site files. The DB has been transferred and tested, an updated version will be transferred soon. The forum on this server will have posting disabled with a notice to explain the situation. There should be no downtime, once the domain is pointing to the new server, depending on your DNS settings or ISP it could take 30 minutes to 24 hours (48 hours in some cases) before you connect to the new server. A reboot of your viewing device will probably be necessary to clear any DNS cache too. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Lilith Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 im not good with computers does this mean it will be a new website after or this site is getting an upgrade. basically what im asking what does moving to a new server mean In the cases I've seen, when sites get new servers, it's like an upgrade, not a whole new site. Backloggery got a new server a while back, and it's no different than what it was, with the exception of being faster. So basically all getting a new server means is speed.

Basically this, there won't really be a speed increase except in certain cases (100% club is faster). Standard profiles will go back to auto updating once a week and hopefully there should be almost zero maintenance now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zero maintenance is seemingly the best part of the server upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azakos Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Does that mean that the manual update once per hour will be removed? Not really sure how you're coming to that conclusion, but I don't think anything about what you're talking about will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Sly, you're the fucking man. You are by far the most involved owner of a site I've ever been a part of and I think I can speak for all of us when I say we really appreciate the constant status updates to let us know what you're doing with the site. Keep up the good work. If you ever find yourself in Kentucky, I'm buying you a beer. Parker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Ripper Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Transferring the site files now, 96GB. Once that's done I'll do a quick transfer of an updated DB (forums and stuff), point the domain to the new server and turn off forum posting on the old server. One cool thing though, the forum chat will work cross server, you'll see the same people no matter which server your DNS is connecting you to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yengoshi Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Is this why I cant tell which trophies I actually have? As I click on a game in my profile and the normal green border around the trophy doesn't appear, they are all grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I click on a game in my profile and the normal green border around the trophy doesn't appear, they are all grey. Yes, that's why. It should work fine when maintenance is finished.
