Server Transfer: Nov 18-20, 2016

Hey everyone,


We will be taking the site offline in order to complete a full server migration. Our stability issues currently have severely hampered our progress on backups for migrating the entirety of our forums and language partner sites, so to ensure we have enough time to complete the transfer, we're planning for downtime between 12:00 PST Friday, November 18th, through 18:00 PST Sunday, November 20th.


Over the course of that window, we will be performing a series of upgrades on our forum and many of our partner language forums. Our forum software will be upgraded to version 4 of Invision Power Board. Of the many improvements it will bring, you will most noticeably receive a fully responsive forum browsing experience, bringing AVEN to phones and tablets in a reliable format, and there will be numerous performance improvements to the database, which will be a welcome change to most everyone.


While we are down, please use the backup board, as it is unattached to our server and will be unaffected. Once we finish our transfer, we will post an announcement.


Thanks for your continued patience,

Coleslaw (and the whole tech team)

Fantastic news!

At the risk of being very boring - don't forget - if you haven't already registered on the back up board, you'll need to do it. You aren't automatically added :)

Been there, done that. Server migrations are a real pain in the rear. Looking forward to the improvements.
