what night? mine or yours?:P note that when it's night where you live, it's afternoon somewhere in the earth and there are (and i say there are, not there may be) people viewing the forums at that moment. And it doesn't matter if it's monday or saturday, the downtime has to be as minimun possible and that can only be achieved doing a good planification of what has to be done and when.


Wj: Good work with the server.  Continue like until now. Hope all goes well when you update / change the server ;)

That's the easy part IMO.
Just close the board before the move. ;)
The board was closed during the upgrade, so it ain't really gonna make much difference if it's closed just before the server move. :)

BTW wj, you are doing a great job (Y)

O.P. RE: server load limit Meter
closing the board and site for a few hours, at whatever time, people have no choice but to respect it right?  have a forward message to plus! lite?

if a site goes down because of DoS.. im sure it goes down longer then it will to move a form.

pick a few hours during the day when the forums recieve little users, and shut it down during that time, so it does not interfer with rush hour :)

40... last time i checked i seen 110 guest, 20 users :|
but minimum 40... that IS alot, but is it better then having a maximum of 150 users at a time, rather then 400 users at a single moment on the new forum???

The database is easy, you copy it over then set the old forums to access the database on the new server :D

110, and 20 users is taken over a 15minute period of time.

More information will be posted in the coming days.

RE: server load limit Meter
tbh, the forums might as well have been down last night... it took me hours to get a single page because of the server load limit.

so that's the other approach you might want to take... wait until server load is going crazy, shut the forums and do the move without worrying about downtime :P  Most people wouldn't miss a thing.

It will be moved as soon as our new server is ready (Thanks to the optional sponsor program)

We'll let everyone know what going on.
