where do I sign?

I'm kinda new here but MapCore has everything a man needs: great talented people, awesome works, funny people, and lots of women to appreciate.

Dear Mr. "Thrik",

This forum is as dear to James and I as Cooper Norman is so we receive these news with extreme joy. We want you to know, however, that if nothing is done by the end of this year you might face a lawsuit for perjury and public annoyance.

Sincerely.

- Henry

So, when you say "imminent", do you mean "in a couple of months" ?

In regards to the server transfer.

[Thrik]

Haha, I know I'm stretching the definition of the word 'imminent' a little but work on the move has been underway and we're not looking at months. Transferring a gigantic database along with all the peripheral data is pretty difficult, in fact I've done it several times and each time there's been corruption or missing files (eg: everyone's avatars) for reasons that weren't entirely clear. I've gotten it mostly figured out though and I believe now I understand the procedure I'll be able to do it in the space of 12 hours or so.

Unfortunately this is going to mean the forums being offline while this is happening as any writes to the database during the move will cause the aforementioned problems, so within the next few days I'm going to take them down during the evening and hopefully everything will be done by the following morning. I actually quietly moved this thread as I'm getting ready to post a downtime alert.

[Skjalg]

Sounds awesome.

Losing our avatars in the move wouldnt have been such a big hassle tho

[Thrik]

The forum thought they were still there but it just couldn't display them so it'd have caused database issues, especially when converting to the new software in the future.
