The New Server is Ready

RabidFox · Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:32 pm Post subject: The New Server is Ready

Styx, our original host, has set us up at the new server, and all of the contents of this forum will be moved to the new location shortly. I am preparing to request a back-up file from our current host, and this will be sent to Styx, who will then implement the data into the new forum. The new forum will be located at the same domain name that the original forum was located, that is:

http://www.twilightus.net/feila

It looks barren at the moment, but that's only because we haven't made the move yet. Please continue to post at this temporary forum until the move is complete. Otherwise, any posts that you make at the new forum probably will be deleted. Any posts that are not transferred in the move will be those that are made after our current host creates a back-up file. This temporary forum will stay on the air for a month or so after the move, so you will be able to copy and paste the few posts that don't make the trip. Therefore, don't be afraid to keep posting as you normally would.

It will take some time for our current host to create the back-up file, and will require a money transfer, which will take time to process. Please be patient while we move the contents of this forum to the new location.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,
Todd

I have sent the back-up request to BizHat. Now all we have to do is wait for everything to process, and then once that's over with, for Styx to install the data.

Feel free to continue posting at this temporary forum. It will take some time for BizHat to process our request, possibly several days. The back-up of posts will only stop being guaranteed until after the back-up file is created. The back-up file will not be created until the request is processed.

I understand and I'm patient

Will the site look exactly like this one, just official

And will things like the chat room be back?

There will be some noticeable differences, such as the return of Global Announcements, Sub-forums, and eventually the Chat Box. We will try to restore the old dark template if possible, as an optional template. However, I don't know if the automated battle system will be returning. That is up to Styx, and I'm not going to push it. He's already put a lot of hard work into getting everything back up, so we may have to go without some things until I finally figure out PHP.

Everything is still a little sketchy at the moment, though, we do plan to return the forum to its original state as much as possible. I am still in the process of restoring data. Thankfully, most of the important data has already been backed-up on my computer, and it's simply a matter of finding the time to copy, paste, and reformat.

I don't mind at all

I know people can only do so much

I'm just glad to be at a site where I can RP and talk with other furs

That's great news! And hopefully this new home will be somewhat more... secure?

A veritable fortress, I should think, a steel walled citadel able to turn aside even the most evil penetrations of whatever enemy should attempt to breach the battlements of said bastion of impregnability.

In any case, my backups are up to date, as they will remain, and encompass everything not hidden by passwords.

Never forget! Never surrender!

The back-up file was received today at 5:55 AM EST. This means that posts stopped being backed-up around that time. I have sent the back-up file to Styx, our host, to implement into the new forum at:

http://www.twilightus.net/feila/

All usernames and posts created before roughly 5:55 AM EST on July 31, 2009 will be transferred to the new forum. All those made afterward will be lost unless the username is re-registered on the new forum or the posts copied and pasted to the new forum.

While you may continue posting here until the move is made, be forewarned that NONE of your posts made after 5:55 AM EST on this day will be backed-up. You may copy and paste these posts to the new forum, but they will not be directly transferred to the new forum. Therefore, I would recommend waiting until the move is made to continue posting, unless the post is fairly unimportant and you don't mind losing it and/or don't need a response to it.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

Regards,
Todd
