Servers planned downtime: Nov. 12th

[WaLLy]

Hello everyone,

Next week on Tuesday, roughly around 8-9am Pacific all servers will be shut down for a few hours. The reason for the downtime is for the preparation for our forum move to our NY server.

The plan is:
Monday = complete backup of server/forum/database files
Tuesday = Reinstall Windows Server 2008 on the machine. Get S1 up and running as fast as possible. Work on the other servers.
Wednesday/Thursday = Work on moving our forum (separate thread)

I also plan on moving S1 (and only S1 for the time being; it's an extra cost) onto an SSD. If any improvements are shown, then I'll definitely keep it there. If the gaming is on par to what we're used to, and/or not noticeable, I'll change it back to HDD.

Any questions thus far?

Bump. Tomorrow morning is the planned downtime. I've backed up the servers to our new SSD drive. The downtime should be much faster as I won't have to download the server files now.

Swag. That'll make me do something with my morning off.

The downtime has commenced.
