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
I tried mashing the "Donate" button and it didn't seem to take me where it should have.....

Worked for me, maybe try a different browser.
My first attempt was also a miss.
Works for me...
Maybe I clicked wrong..... ;D
All set.

First go didnt work, so backed up and tried again and it worked.
Worked just fine for me first time through.
Thanks to those that have donated.
We're still about $700 short for the next 3 years.

Sorry to be late to the game....
you guys rock. I tossed in a couple hundred.
We get across the line?
I shoveled a few South Pacific Pesos down the pipeline...
Once converted, they dilute quickly [laugh]
It doesn't matter how much it is. It's all good.
Did we get across the line?

yup...I just need to take the time to do the migration.
[clap] Bravo everyone.
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
I wouldn't want to be a Godaddy rep tonight...I'm make the beast with two backsing pissed off.
So a "good luck" is a little late? :-\

No, it was timely. We're still here! 8)
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.

So, now .... GOOD LUCK [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [Dolph]
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
Thank you, Nate [thumbsup]
Cheers Nate.
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.
I don't know what all that means... but I know we appreciate your efforts. [beer]
We're up, and running on the new server.
I stopped the old one just now.

Must be the 4v, watercooled version...
Nate skimmed the flywheel.
