Upcoming Server Upgrade

[gaaboard]

Hi all,

To cope with the high traffic and amount of postings, we'll be moving the GAA discussion board to a new dedicated server. This is scheduled to take place over the next couple of days. This might is likely to cause a bit of downtime, but hopefully not much.
So if you aren't able to access the board early this week, this will be the cause.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Regards,
The Admin

Good lad/lass, thanks!

As I said at the start, get a Paypal donation button up somewhere & I'll donate a few quid.

Fasten your seatbelts everyone. Some downtime turbulence ahead!

Thanks for the forewarning Admin.

Nothing worst than boards that don't say. I guess I'm going to have to go cold turkey for a few days.

I think its more to do with the amount of members on at any given time, and the amounts of posts that have to be saved onto the server, either way we have to move, is this a costly move, is finance needed?

I'm not sure yet how long the move will take.
Perhaps a day, maybe a few hours if we're lucky.
There shouldn't be any posts lost.

Good but getting rid of the word association and picture association threads would achieve the desired outcome.

Are we there yet?

Don't seem to be able to post on the other side of the board either.
