Ian Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Hey everybody! UPDATE: Server move complete. :D The Daily Neopets' main site will be down around Monday at 12 AM. Service may not resume until 12 PM. The forums will remain up and available though. You may have noticed that as TDN has gotten bigger, our site has gotten slower. Right now we're running our server over a T1 residential line (ROFL!) and need to upgrade to a data center (3x as fast, whee!). We're not going anywhere! We'll just be down temporarily! But rest assured, we WILL be back! :D Thanks! Ian NOTE : To discuss this announcement, go here. This just helps us keep Neopets news and site announcements separate! Thanks! Quote
Stephé Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Um...just a question: Is it 12 AM NST? I'm just wondering just in case me or otehr people get confused :S Quote
Strategos Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 @stephanie: The downtime starts Monday. No need to panic yet. And for everyone, here's when the downtime starts: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixe...ec=0&p1=179 . Just add 12 hours to see when TDN will be back online. (Corrected for the right time zone) Quote
Xepha Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 I actually thought it was based on EST time... so we might need to confirm with Ian :P. New server is awesome news :D :D Quote
Strategos Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 That's a good point to consider. I just used NST since that's what most Neopets help sites go by, and I didn't see anything to the contrary. Quote
FutureTXTurkey Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 You guys are always that one or two steps ahead of me... I had seriously just gotten on here to ask if anyone else's TDN had been having trouble, and here you guys are with your, "Yes, there have been problems and we are fixing them ASAP." Well I for one am very pleased to see how promptly you took care of it, and am of course delight to get TDN faster than before... Lord knows anything that cuts down on the amount of time I spend at this website is probably good for my non-neopets life, LOL. Quote
Xepha Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Yes, we are truely sorry for the down time periods we had lately :(. Ian had been planning to move on new servers for a while... and it is happening Monday :D Quote
Matty Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Perhaps it's just best to say that it will be down for half a day. If you see it down, it should be back in half a day. Keeps it simple =P Quote
antiaircraft Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah! XD I've been looking forward to a faster TDN for ages! :D Quote
Ian Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 It will be about 3-4 times as fast as what it is now. :D You *will* be impressed. And yes, that's EST. So that'd mean 9 PM NST. Quote
antiaircraft Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Hmm... so this means we have room to get 3-4 times as many regular visitors to TDN before we need another server upgrade. :P Quote
Whacker Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 And 3-4 times as much content, so lets get working! :) Quote
HobberSlobbers Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 looks like the change went smooth. man, thedailyneopets site is smok'in FAST now! cool. peace out, hs :D Quote
Ian Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 The move hasn't been fully completed yet, but we're getting there... Quote
