eleet Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sorry for the nearly 10 days of downtime. I was able to move our data and MySQL DB over the course of a day or two. However, we found out on Monday of last week that we had to change domain registrars. Moving our domain from 1and1 to GoDaddy took a whole fucking week. There was nothing we could do about it, as domain registrars need to follow ICANN procedures when transfering a domain. Long story short, we've moved from Surpass to GPZ's GoDaddy account. We went from a quad core Opteron to a faster quad core Xeon. This new server should spit out pages a little bit quicker than the old one. We also moved from Orlando to Scottsdale. Wind's 20th birthday was also yesterday, so make sure to wish him a happy birthday. Welcome back, AE! Link to comment
eleet Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh by the way... if anyone is still having trouble accessing the site, it's because your shitty ISP's DNS servers haven't updated yet to point to our new IP address. You can switch to OpenDNS if you're extremely impatient. Link to comment

Gundampilotspaz Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 You're going to have to watch an random advertisement from Verizon every time you refresh the page. I requested to only get this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfbtCJ57TmY Link to comment

Ceraziefish Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Wait, I can't tell if GPS is joking or not. Are there actually going to be ads? Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Wait, I can't tell if GPS is joking or not. Are there actually going to be ads? I hope so, then this will never happen again. But if there is they won't be huge ads like what he is talking about. Link to comment
