We're going to be moving servers.

**Adam** · 19-01-2008, 10:25 AM

Unfortunatly we've been having ongoing issues with the server we're on, namely running out of memory, which I believe is due to the backup script we use

We've basically outgrown a shared server, so unless we want frequent outages, slowdowns and problems, we have to upgrade and move

I've allready ordered the server, so I'm posting some advanced warning before the forums will go down.

I hope, from previous experience this time will be with less down time.

I plan to move UOforums and all the other sites here, on Wednesday, probably 9am my time, or perhaps earlier.

So, this is just an advanced warning.

Thanks for the heads-up! What time zone is 9am your time? Does moving a server entail hours of downtime, or days of downtime? Good luck with the move!

3 am our time kit and last time it was a couple hours

**Adam** · 19-01-2008, 10:53 AM

It shouldn't be hours this time
The domain won't work, of course, but I'll put up a temporary URL so the forums can still be used while the domain propagates.

Adam, thanks for looking out for us ... increasing performance. It's great to see UO Forums is totally committed to the users, as much as it takes to do so. And we support you and depend on you. There's no better place to have forums for our unique communities, in my humble opinion.

*hits the Adam Macro again*
Adam is Great!!
