The server has been loaded, installed, tweaked, and has been shipped to the Colo site in Miami. Unlike the one we're on, and the ones that most sites are on, this server is owned by us. There are only two sites that will be on the new server, USMILNET and Conservatives Cave. Once installed, the NEW url will be http://www.conservativecave.com
Notice the drop in the "S". This site will still be here, but it will be taken down and put into maintenance mode once the new server is operational. It will only be used for backups and in the event of a disaster at the Miami location and it will only be temporary until they get the new location back online.
To sum it up, server is in route. Once there, it will be installed, connected, and should be online within no time, given that the DNS resolution happens fairly quickly. This will increase our uptime exponentially. The server we're currently own houses about 17 other sites.

Good news! Congrats!

Sounds good.

Excellent news! :cheersmate: Goodbye and good riddance to Dreamhost.

Congrats, Rebel. Thanks for such a great site.

Not just me, Splash. WE is working his ass off as well.
-
I stand corrected. :thatsright: Thanks to WE, too! This site just gets better.
-
Thanks, guys.
Now, when we get the Shannon is PMSing filter installed, we will have the perfect site!
:)
-
Great news Kev! Thanks to all for the hard work you've put in.
-
Really great job you all are doing. Look forward to the upgrades.

It was frozen more than the Arctic at times here last night.
And I thank everyone who's involved with the new server.
And I would still come here if the site were frozen as much as it was last night.

Thanks WE, Kev sure can be a slave driver :-)

Thanks to WE, Kev and Doug for all their hard work. Thanks to everyone here at CC for making this site what it is.
*sniffle, I think I shall cry* :-)

Oh Peeshaw.
I am just never satisfied, you should know that.
And far be it from me to hide my emotions, but I am tweaked tonight. I won't go into details, but it's a postal kinda day.

I think we may make the move tonight. the server is at the the new colocation provider,
and is answering up on our IP. we haven't been formally informed that it is available,
so I assume they aren't completely through with their process yet.
I kicked out the DNS change a couple of hours ago, so if it looks like we have a window
of opportunity later tonight, I think we are going to "throw the switch", so to speak.

:ohnoes:
-
once we make the move, I think you may all have to go back into your profile and "auto detect" your time
offset. if the time appears to be an hour early, you will definitely have to do that.
-
we are going to give this a go in a little bit, guys. I am not going to take us down, but I will post
a redirect at dreamhost once we get there.
there will be a few poptholes on the way; after we restore all the data from the old site, we will
have to make all the SMF changes that we found needed changing while we were testing.
-
the new site is up at www.conservativecave.com, but try to stay away from it for the moment; we
have it in maintenance mode right now.
-
by not taking us down when we move, there will be some lost posts in between the time
that we start the snapshot on the old site, and come up on the new one. we think it will
only be about 15 minutes.
I just don't want to take us down, guys. ya know?
-
my thoughts on not taking us down could be changing, gang. at most, I will post a redirect
to the new site, which will be in maintenance mode until we come back up.
I hope everyone has remembered your passwords. :-)
-
we are back up, guys!

Good! I almost had to wait.

So far, OK. Where are the avatars?

Looks okay from my end. Even the smilies came back. :-)

we have both of those solved. (I think) :-)

I got an error when I tried to upload a new avatar. It said that the avatar directory isn't writable. Right now, I'm using a url pointing to a jpg on tinypic.com

Do you have a Photobucket account? If not, I recommend getting one, just in case. ;)

I am redirecting all traffic over here.
maybe flush your DNS?
from a command line
C:/ipconfig flushdns

I noticed some little problems (such as not getting my avatar on here, among others) late last night, but assumed they were because things were still being shifted from the old server to the new one, and that those problems would naturally straighten themselves out over time.
When I came here early this morning, I noticed the problems I had noticed last night, aren't here any more.
You guys do good work, and we all thank you!

Well done guys, the board is running very smoothly for me.

Probably just me but the damn page keeps refreshing so often I have a heckuva time reading and posting because the page is reloading every few seconds.

Talking about the Shoutbox?

I don't think so b/c it seems to refresh even when the SB doesn't/is diabled do to inactivity.

What's your browser? I am not experiencing that behavior.
