illspirit Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Some time within the next day or two, GTAF (and the rest of the network) will be going offline while we move to a shiny new server (or two). When the new boxes are plugged in, it should only take a few hours to transfer and set up everything. DNS changes, however, might take a day or two to propagate. During the (hopefully short) downtime, you can use irc.gtaconnection.net to get to the various IRC channels.

Platinum. Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sounds cool, they've been running a little slow lately. By the way, about five minutes ago I was browsing Z's private forums and some people had medals under their flags, so I thought a new feature had been added. So I went into Announcements to see if there was a topic about it and now they've gone. What was all that about? I didn't get a screenshot.

VercettiVice Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I can remember when we got we first got the hamsters. Sure, one was a tad slow, but he always put forth the effort. It's quite sad to see them pass. Good luck with the server swap, illy.

geomy Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Former release date = Server switch date? Conspiracy theorists, start your engines. Seriously though, the site has been running a little slow.

ViceDog Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Excellent timing! I'll be away in Romania (Transylvania) during the next few days. I wont notice a thing.

There's already been one transfer before and another time, they shut the forums down for a week because everyone seemed to be fighting. Now that I remember that, it seemed so long ago...

Stefan. Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 And also, hope the gang system comes back! That's unlikely, because the only reason that the gang system went down was because of a Forum overload. I could be wrong though.
