I've been contacted by the company that hosts silgrad.com. They informed me that this server will get shut down on September 17th, and all sites here will be moved to another of their servers which is better and faster. This will likely mean that we won't have to endure any downtime during nights (C.E.T.) anymore and that the forum will respond faster.
Unfortunately they won't be transplanting us over on the new server, but rather I will do that manually. I hope it goes well. Just the same, be sure to back up any important information you might have here in time before September 17th.
Hmmmm.....
Right now im feeling 2 opposite emotions:
fear( :eek
& pbjt( :banana: :bananarock
on one hand: faster
WOOOOHOOOOO
on the other:

Thanks for the Heads Up...

Enjoy

Sounds a bit scary i agree, but i hate when the site gets really slow, or vanishes entirely at night. Several people have commented on it, so it'll be nice to have a faster, more consistent server.
btw, why does the server go down at night sometimes?
wait.... night.... that would be early morning at GMT -8 right?
Well i'm on EST, which is GMT -5, so it goes down at what is night for me, and what would be very early morning on GMT (like 3:00) At least that's my experience. It makes sense too, cause the server's on CET (central european time), and nobody should be online at 4 in the morning.
Man these timezones get confusing. Flyboy, you're on PST? For you, the server would go down early night, around 7-8 pm i think. Happens around 10-11 pm for me.
Can't wait till it's always up and always fast, then i don't have to think and do math during the summer.
A nifty thought, it's 1:22 AM for me, but razorwing's waking up right now, as it's 7:22 in sweden (that is if he doesn't get up ridiculously early or late)
Satan is Coming
And on that note i say Good day
well, technically it's only really "day" from GMT-1 to GMT+11 or so. Anywhere from GMT+12 to GMT-2 is in night, or very very early morning.
I've found a link to a time-zones map, there's no stopping me!
green? wtf?!
:lmao:
yes i am pacific time.
Oh yeah, Razorwing, make sure to test those instructions I gave you on something else, if those are the ones you are using... I'm not guaranteeing anything :S
