Possible Site Down-time
Hey all With the end of the month coming up quick, I will be moving this site to a new server. In order to pull this off, the site will be down for some time. How long? I have no clue. I'm hoping for at most 1-2 days, but am not sure since I've never moved a site of this size before. Just wanted to warn you that the voting for the October BOTM and sign up's for the Give-Away will be delayed a bit. I'm planning on bringing it down on Friday night and working through most of the night to see if I can get it back to running right away. I'll also be installing the new forum (hopefully, if I finish it in time) so that could add to some down time. If nothing else, I'll simply disable the forum for a little while so the entire site isn't offline. About the new server. The donations I received helped a lot toward paying for the yearly costs, but only covered about 1/6 of what I have to pay out of my own pocket. I was able to upgrade a bit, but not to the extent I was hoping. I'll be able to assign this site 100gb of bandwidth per month (it currently stands at 80gb per month), so if nothing else it should keep the site from maxing out due to too much usage. I will try and bump up the quality of the concerts shared when possible. I was able to get enough resources on the new server to cover my 2nd AC/DC project, so that is definitely a go now. I have a lot of work to do on it, but once the new forum is complete I'll be splitting time with the new online stores/auctions section and that project, so it should move pretty smoothly from here on out. Once it's finished, it will be another high quality reference site for AC/DC. I'm keeping the details under wraps (noone knows what I'm doing but myself), so I apologize for the vagueness. I want it to be a nice surprise to everyone once I finish it. Anyways, that's it. Expect some down time in early October; don't be alarmed, the site will be back. When the site has been restored, I will send out the monthly email notifying you that the poll is open and you can vote for the next BOTM. PEACE Nate
