Preparing the move (archived by Teleport) - Ligustah - 01-08-2013
Hi,
I don't know if anyone followed Chuck's thread, where I explained a little about what's going to happen with our infrastructure during the next weeks.
TWC is going to move to new servers.
Relevant documents have been shipped to our hoster, so I expect the domain transfer to happen during the next two days, though it might get delayed until after the weekend.
The forum will probably be down for a few hours during that process. It's hard to tell when exactly this is going to happen, so just don't panic when it's off.
Once the domain is transferred I will start setting up new machines and move the ET servers there one by one. I will most likely do one server transfer per day, so it shouldn't cause many problems. I will also try to do it at night or early in the morning, so nobody is disturbed. The actual moving will not take more than 20 minutes per server, so that's the estimated downtime per server.
I will post new server IPs once I know them.
I expect the old machine to be up for like half a month after this, so I will keep the old servers running with a few slots so that they will show a message to visitors that connect there by IP.
I would like to ask all supremes who currently have a cpanel account or would like to have one for their server to send me a PM, so I won't forget anyone when setting up the new cpanel.
I think that was all the information for now. I'll make posts in this thread and edit this one for updates, I do however hope that everything will work out smoothly.

Ligustah,
I do not know whoever made the TWC Menu, but I recommend him to update the menu and replace it.
I usually connect with the menu so it would be easy to keep doing that in the future.

Joint is working on that. We will upload an updated menu as we move the servers. Other than that, this shouldn't be too much of a problem, because as I said when you connect to the old servers you will get a message as to where to find the new servers.
They will also get catchy domain names, like:
/connect nd.twcclan.org
/connect sniper.twcclan.org
etc...
