Storm2k Moving.. June 17th.. Tick Tock Tick Tock

I hope everyone planned their downtime activites! The STORM2K site will be down starting early in the morning on Sunday June 17 for our move to the new server! It's Father's day so take the time away from the keyboard to wish thank your father!

We expect the outage to last somewhere around 12 hours. For the last week we have been running a parallel site on the new server and have even had a few board members helping us test phpBB3. The tests have gone wonderfully (except when Chad broke things) and everyone that's seen the new site seems excited. Additionally we will be implementing the phpPortal system replacing phpNuke and a new Member's Gallery. I think everyone will be pleased with the changes and for the first time in our history we will have full control of the server. What that really means is that when things happen we have direct control over getting them fixed.

I'd like to also thank x-y-no for jumping in with both feet on the technical side of the server. His contribution has and I'm sure will continue to be outstanding!

As we progress through the move and conversion we'll post updates on http://www.myspace.com/storm2kweather Once we're done we'll post the new IP address since it will take the DNS servers a while to update.

Will we be able to get updates through S2K chat?

May I ask that the s2k updates on myspace be made in the blog space, as well as the bulletin? The blog entries can be seen by anyone, while bulletins only come through to myspace "friends". Thanks!

You will not have to re-register. :-)

There may be a few people who's password may not convert (we haven't seen this in the testing but they tell us it is possible). If that happens just post in the Test/Help forum on the new site and we will get your password reset. The Test/Help forum does not require you to be logged in to post. make sure and give us your username :-)

If your e-mail address is not current please update it before Saturday night.
