+Erik 1,731 Posted January 4, 2016 This shouldn't affect anyone but in the off chance you notice some slower (sluggish) response times over the next week here's the why. CombatACE is in the process of moving our port 80 machine (the one that handles the website pages) to a new machine. This is in preparation for a major site upgrade that's coming soon that will bring us into 2016 with guns blazing. So standby and I'll keep this post updated as necessary and be sure to let you know when we're all moved then what to to expect for the site upgrade. For now carry on as normal and pardon us if we seem a bit busy in the background because we definitely will be. Erik 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Erik 1,731 Posted January 5, 2016 UPDATE JAN 05: New server online and partially migrated. Data continues to move today. The actual transfer may happen as early as tomorrow. I'll keep this post updated as we get further along. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Erik 1,731 Posted January 7, 2016 UPDATE JAN 7, 2015 - Our files have all been synced to the new machine and we are ready to move. Tomorrow morning there will be some downtime where all our sites will be offline. The site will need to be shut down so I can get an accurate snapshot of current files and update the new machine. This process may take up to an hour but should only be a few minutes. I'll post back in this topic 1 hour prior to shutting us down. Thanks in advance for understanding our downtime tomorrow.
