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.

I'm quite busy, so unless it's a quick thing or really urgent I am unlikely to be able to answer PMs throughout the week, but I try to reach out to everyone who contacted me during the weekends. If it's urgent, you can also contact any of the supremes, they can do a lot of things or relay directly to me if necessary.
