Conversion Progress: Moved!

As you are no doubt aware (unless you have an irrational fear of Global Announcements, in which case you aren't reading this), we are moving to a new server and at the same time converting to phpbb3.

The plan is to get started with the move tomorrow with the wiki - since the forum can remain unlocked during that time. I'm going to work tonight on getting the scripts set up; when I'm ready to move the wiki database, I'll lock the wiki to edits.
Keep this in mind if you are editing tonight/tomorrow, and save anything major offline in case you happen to be editing when I lock it.


When I'm ready to start on the forum database, I'll be opening a forum for marathon games while the main forum is down. It probably
won't
be the old shelter forum, but either way I'll make sure to edit a link into the forum-locked message.

I'm hopeful that the move won't take as long as I was initially estimating (we've sped up some of the slower processes), but depending on how much we tweak the phpbb3 setup before we go live the forum may be down for most of the day or into the next, and the DNS may take some time to propagate. I'll post regular updates in the shelter/marathon forum.

/me cries

I...I was just trying to confront my fear of global announcements...


A-AND YOU SPRING THIS ON ME!?

I...I...we're through. Global Announcements are CLEARLY meant to be feared and reviled!

That's good news. Thanks for all the hard work, and here's to hoping that everything goes smoothly without data loss or too much downtime. :)

Mafuyu is slightly disappointed that she gets slammed with a downtime right after joining, but if it's for the best Mafuyu will try to endure.

The two of you will get along splendidly.

Also, thanks, Mith, for taking care of this! I know that moving servers is no easy process, and I know that you're probably busy with other things, but rest assured that the denizens of Mafiascum thank you profusely.

I'd just like to say I have no plans, at this time, to take advantage of the switch-over to seize control of mafiascum and dethrone mith and place myself as High Lord Commander.

I intend to hijack the armored car as you are transporting the gold from one server to the other.

Thank you, mith, for everything you do here.

My Savebox is at 117%. Should I rectify that tonight? (I'd hate to be responsible for server explosions.)
....what?

I have no plans, at this time, to sit back and watch while you and Mith fight over ownership and then to sneak in while you two are preoccupied and take over the place, making myself truly im

Ok, the wiki has been moved successfully.

I'm going to take a short break, then set up some things (including the shelter forum), and probably will start the move around lunchtime.

Getting the marathon forum set up now. I'm trying to be clever about it so you won't have to re-register.
