I will be taking the forums offline at approximately 9pm GMT on Monday the 18th of March in order to conduct the shift. This is a process that will take some time and I cannot give you an exact end date, save to say that it will hopefully only be a few hours.

Wait, what? You're going to interrupt a mafia game on DDay for something as inconsequential as a server migration?
Gah, our new overlord is cruel! Cruel, I say.

Hah! You should have seen some of my predecessors. Never mind interrupting a mafia game, how about losing years of past games for something as inconsequential as board downtime? Stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it! You young 'uns have no idea some of the horrors we've been through round these parts.

That wasn't a planned board down time if I remember correctly. Horrible it was, the only way we survived was to play mafia on the TEMP FORUM... Gods the humanity.

How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

Hey, guys. I'm the system admin of the server that MzE is now hosted on. We had some DNS issues during the move, people getting redirected to other sites and weird stuff but it should be solved by now. Once the DNS has fully propagated globally, everything will be back to normal for everyone. It's good to see people here already, posting.

Anyway, if you encounter any issues at all, feel free to PM me directly and I'll look into it.

Think my girlfriend found them in our bedroom. She swore to me that no funny business was going on.

Well, you know, you'll need to know where to find me so that when the site breaks you can go to my house and stab me in the left nostril.

I operate regular support during the hours of 5:00 - 7:00 and emergency support all day but only on the 29th of February.

Silence voter!

Aw. You held out hope. Use Feb 30^th. The people you want to trip up will still trip and you won't be bothered once every four years.
I had a friend who ran a garage with tow service. The side of his truck said "Tow Service 23 1/2 hours". It gave him the ability to refuse service if called by saying "this is my half hour off." He was on the Highway Patrol's list of 'approved' tow operators. If he offered 24 hour service he would be contractually obligated to go every time they called him.

I like this Xae fellow, he's gonna fit in nicely here. Now if only my rep quota wasn't already met for the day I could welcome him properly!

We have returned!

(And by that, I mean the royal 'we', naturally...)

God is in His Heaven, All is Right with the World, and all that...

Still a few issues with people's DNS resolving, so I'm keeping an eye on the temp forum for now. It's important that you report any and all issues to us for investigation (though I see Xae has already kindly offered his inbox in sacrifice to that cause

) while we are making sure the board has translated over correctly. Please use this forum for minor issues if you don't want to bug Xae.

Hopefully everyone is noticing that the forum (once properly worked back into your cache) is loading faster already. We have a strong server behind us now.

Naturally. It's his server after all. But I rather choose to imagine that Xae has other people who can do his yelling for him, like I do. XD
