Title: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on August 17, 2024, 11:02:46 AM So...it seems like it was just yesterday that I was asking for help to keep the forum alive. Time flies because it was two and a half years ago.
Our server is due for renewal in February, but once again we're facing an OS end of life issue. GoDaddy is recommending that we migrate early to avoid the issues. So, once again I'm going to ask that you all kick in to the beer fund (https://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=1241.0). Once again I'll ask that no one person try to be a hero. We need about $2500 for the next 3 year server subscription, and I'm not sure how much is left in the fund. Chris is on the road and will get back to me. Thanks in advance Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: Mhanis on August 19, 2024, 05:13:46 AM I tried mashing the "Donate" button and it didn't seem to take me where it should have.....

Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on September 06, 2024, 03:22:16 PM Just spent an hour on the phone with godaddy to purchase the new server.
Now i need to do the migration...I'm somewhat nervous...I'll post up when it'll happen. Wish us luck... ;D Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on September 06, 2024, 04:37:33 PM I wouldn't want to be a Godaddy rep tonight...I'm make the beast with two backsing pissed off.
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: stopintime on September 07, 2024, 02:15:17 AM So a "good luck" is a little late? :-\
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: herm on September 07, 2024, 02:18:20 AM So a "good luck" is a little late? :-\ No, it was timely. We're still here! 8) Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on September 07, 2024, 06:50:37 AM I figured out what the issue was...I think.
I may start the migration this evening...we'll see. In any case the old server will still be active until I'm sure all is well. Title: Re: It's that time...again.

Post by: ducpainter on September 11, 2024, 03:34:52 AM Looks like we lost a few posts in my attempt's. :-\
But I think we're there...I think. Sometime later today I'll stop the old server, and we'll know for sure Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: stopintime on September 11, 2024, 08:40:18 AM Thank you, Nate [thumbsup]
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: koko64 on September 11, 2024, 09:45:06 AM Cheers Nate.
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on September 11, 2024, 11:45:05 AM I just remembered that DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours on a global basis. Typically it doesn't take that long.
Consequently, I'll wait until Saturday morning to shut down the old server just to make sure no one gets shut out. It won't significantly affect any credit we may get which will be applied to SSL certificates in the future. Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: Charlie98 on September 12, 2024, 06:06:01 PM I don't know what all that means... but I know we appreciate your efforts. [beer]
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on September 13, 2024, 03:24:42 AM We're up, and running on the new server.
I stopped the old one just now. Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: Howie on September 13, 2024, 03:51:24 AM I don't know what all that means... but I know we appreciate your efforts. [beer] Makes two of us! Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: ducpainter on September 14, 2024, 05:51:27 AM This one seems a little faster
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: koko64 on September 14, 2024, 03:17:04 PM Yes it is. Quite snappy. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: Charlie98 on September 16, 2024, 05:27:52 AM Yes it is. Quite snappy. [thumbsup] Must be the 4v, watercooled version... Title: Re: It's that time...again. Post by: koko64 on September 16, 2024, 04:03:10 PM Nate skimmed the flywheel.
