I can move CP to freehostia for free temporarily, but I'd like to keep my domain.

nixism.com is cheap, but not overselling. :) I was considering it as alternative to koreru when I was picking a host a few months ago. Another alternative would be 110mb.com which is free, but you have to pay the SQL database. So I could consider it even as final host. :)

That sucks. : ( I recommend dreamhost.org too, although it's not free. dot5 was great before, but now their customer service sucks. And I would never in a million years recommend goDaddy, ever. I guess you'll just have to see where they're going to forward you to.

If worse comes to worst, I'd be happy to host the community for a few months on my own site while you find a new one. I like this community more than CA or .org (although I'm always looking in CA's Script Archives :P), and I'd hate to see it shut down.

The demo release has been pushed back. In the meantime, you can check out my resources thread.
I'm also working on the project site - stay tuned for a launch very soon!

Another Internet organization, done to the ground, out of business. Such trouble. Sorry that I have no suggestions on what server you can go to, but I hope all of our posts and etcetera stays (Which it should hopefully), and everything just seems normal, and nothing really alarming happens.

What's osu!? It's a rhythm game. Thought I should have a signature with a working rank. ;P It's now clickable!

yeah sucks does this mean that there would have to be another move?

*shows up out of nowhere*

I was about to bring back a website of mine on Koreru the day they decided to go out of business. What a coincidence that is. -_-

Good luck with the move. I hope everything works out okay. =]

This time it should go without problems and no post data should get lost. There may be a short downtime, up to 24 hours; this is the time they would need to update the pointing nameservers of the new host. Let's see if the account can be just moved to another host.

Does that mean our signature, profile, and avatar use is going to go away? However, I'm accepting of it, since I have the files anyway. But nevertheless, I still hope for the best. Once again, good luck.

Forgive me for being off topic but...You have a Maple Story account? o.o;

How strange. You strike me as the person who wouldn't have one...well, not really, but nevertheless. Unless I'm having the wrong acronym here, but we'll see...

Myspace you don't want to abbreviate. All people usually state out Myspace anyway, and if Ulta has one, IT would have to force out the gender. Also, I would find it on a Google Search, provided Ulta's Myspace name would be UltaFlame. But that isn't so.

MSN, you would type MSN and not MS, Microsoft. It sounds so strange.

Your points prove so well Nortos though, kudos.

Heh, I don't play it at all anymore, but I have so much knowledge. It's not wasted, it's just laughable. It led me to rant about MMORPGs and how time wasting they are.

yeah I was addicted to Guild Wars for a while in top 100 guild..

Fallen Angel X

Guildwars is awesome!!!! It's what I'm going to play while CP is down for a couple minutes >.>

Starrodkirby86

Heh, the only thing I'm going to play over the down time is most likely Stepmania Online, try to rank up and become part of the elite Top 500. Then Top 100. And so the rest goes, as one can predict easily. At least Guild Wars is free, that's the only thing I am going to state.

How is the new server going, Blizz?

Blizzard

March 18, 2008, 10:56:09 am #38 Last Edit: March 18, 2008, 10:58:43 am by Blizzard
I have it pretty much planned.

1. Moving data to new host.
2. New forum points to the same database. That means you can post on any of the two forums, it's practically the same.
3. Change the DNS of chaos-project.com. At one point it will point at the new server, people won't ever notice the difference. DNS changes take from 24 up to 72 hours.
4. Take the forum down for a few minutes, download the database, upload it on the new host and make the forum point to the new location.
5. Done.

The thing is just that I doubt that I will be able to do that as I don't know the SQL server of our current host. -_- That means most probably it'll go like this:

1. Moving data to new host.
2. Take the forum down for a few minutes, download the database, upload it on the new host and make the forum point to the new location.
3. Make forum.chaos-project.com show a message with a temporary location of the new host (it'll be most probably cproject.99k.org and/or blizzard.110mb.com) until the DNS is updated.
4. When the DNS gets updated, it's done.

This will go through without a downtime as well, but I want to spare people clicking at the redirection link if I can. -_-

If I have to change the server twice (once temporarily, once for real), then this will have to happen twice which I want to avoid. It depends on my friend. If I can talk to her in the next couple of days, there won't be a temporary host. If not, I'll have to talk to her later and have to use a temporary host so all the data doesn't get lost. -_-

Still better than a downtime of 24-72 hours. #_#
