Orlan Posted December 25, 2003 Report Posted December 25, 2003 Attention all Pen members, We have purchased new hosting for The Pen, and as such, we will be moving the entire board over to the new host. Now, I hear you say, what does this mean for me. Well....pretty much nothing. I will, however, be shutting down The Pen sometime over the next week or two for two to three days while I move things over and point the world's DNS servers to the right location. Two to three days is about the pit end of it, for most people it'd update fairly fast, though it takes about three days for DNS to get to every nook and cranny. Anyway, this is all dependent upon HostRocket allowing me to authorize a repointing and nameserver setup and etc, etc, etc. If they don't we'll be waiting until Gwaihir returns. Either way The Pen is all in good hands. This is more of a notice now, when I figure out when and where I'll let everyone know. Orlan (Curse you mysql that doesn't automatically default to -p)
X-Sabre Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 About time Orlan.. You've been mentioning it for a while now
Peredhil Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 Thank you Orlan. I appreciate all the time and work you've put into this, and taking the time from your Real Life to make this happen. Although I know that others like Gwaihir and Yui-chan have been helping you move this mountain, this, the URLs, there are a number of nuts-and-bolts you've been quietly maintaining. You lead the way to our new home - we'll follow. -an appreciative Peredhil
Wyvern Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 Wyvern strikes a grin full of razor-sharp teeth and cheers as Orlan makes the move announcement, rubbing his scaly mits together in anticipation at the thought of Hostrocket's 99% up-time guarantee. No longer would his schemes be foiled by annoying periods of Pen inavailability...! "I'll also add my thanks to Orlan for his hard work, as well as to the other Elders that have been helping in getting this host move set up. It's definitely appreciated by this humble lizard." Having said this, Wyvern begins stashing his Almost Dragonic products into the spare compartments of other peoples suitecases, hoping the illegal materials won't be spotted by immigration officials during the move...
WrenWind Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 "Thank you" *sits back down and waits patiently for things to settle out *
Merelas Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 I understood approximately 55% of what Orlan said, but everyone else seems to be throwing in thanks, so I will too! In fact, I think an applause to all the Elders is necessary. I don't realize how much you all actually do for the Pen, and thus, its members, I think. So, thank you for all that we see, but even more for all that we don't.
Ayshela Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 meep meep, Pen coming through! };> Seriously, thanks for arranging all this.
Lady Celes Crusader Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Pardon my ignorance but I wonder why we are moving the board? This is out of curiosity.
Gwaihir Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 So, O, did it work? Celes, multiple reasons includiing issues of downtime
Solivagus Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Richard breaks out in a cold sweat as he realises how much it's going to cost him to move his tower...Maybe I can raid Lizard Mans room and hope I get lucky Thanks for doing all of this, I hate to imagine what it took.
Orlan Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Posted January 8, 2004 Ran into some problems on my end, going to be playing with www.themightypen.org for a while. If anyone uses that addy to connect to this board (you shouldn't) they should switch to .net instead. Hopefully a few more days and I'll be ready.
Lady Celes Crusader Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 Thanks Gwai for the answer. *hugs Orlan*
