I get this message: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are moving hosts."

 

[TheMcD]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the site went off the net and is currently on the move. Rest assured, we all know about this and work is being done.

how can we trust that information, coming from a fanatic and a nutcase?

 

[TheMcD]

Unfortunately, this nutcase here is probably your best source of information. I doubt either Noah or Val will show up here.

Sorry - frustating again
Done so much - but this should be not the problem
Why didn't we all get a info before it

 

[TheMcD]

Well, all I got was a mail from Noah before the mail server kicked the bucket too. He is currently out of town and relocating may take a while. I hope he knows he can always contact me at Xylot... but that's just me rambling again.

Rest assured, work is being done. Why do I have to repeat that? Anyhoo, this may take a while. Might as well make myself a second home here.

that would put them in good company, anyway.

 

[yogiholzer]

Is Val still involved? I didn't see a post or anything else of him since long.

VPForums is Immortal...

...but some host agreements are not.

Apparently, the person whose host I was sharing has gotten himself banned. He was hosting something that violated the terms of his contract.

I'm currently upstate helping my step-father after his surgery. Why these things always seem to happen at the worst times is beyond me. Imagine my chagrin when I learned what happened while at a place limited to dial up.

We are backing everything up and restoring it to the new server. This process will take some time, considering the size of the site. Despite it's youth, it's quite large. We will lose ABSOLUTELY nothing, as the host has kept FTP enabled throughout the next week.

The board will return first, probably tomorrow, and the upload/download system a few days thereafter.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I assure you all that it's being worked on diligently and won't be gone long.

Thanks, Noah

Take care of things, no hurry, no worries.

 

[Joe]

Thanks

 

[faralos]

your host must be a real dick! what a cad! ah well, at least you had the decency to show up and tell us, Noah, unlike other hosts in the past, ah well I just got back from KY visiting my dad so i am a tad behind anyhow, this'll give me time to catch up.

Maybe we should start another forum and call it VPForums.org.respect.fag
Then we could spend another few months bickering over the name. :)

How much would dedicated hosting cost? I am surprized at how long .org has survived on shared hosting anyway. It's a natural progression to graduate to dedicated hosting, especially for heavy demand PHP based froums.

 

[Noah Fentz]

Yeah, thanks Benny for that lovely notion, but the files are already up and we'll be getting a complete DB backup from the former host shortly.

We will have a dedicated host in the coming weeks, as well, without interruption of service. We've only been around 6 months, so we're still progressing, naturally.

No worries.

 

[loggerback]

Thanks Noah.

 

[TAB]

Many thanks again for your hard and fine work Noah :)

How about a tutorial on that?

 

[faralos]

just waiting with (silver) balls in hand for our site to come back! Hope it's soon, I am getting withdrawal symptoms already!

 

[TheMcD]

How about a tutorial on that?

Only if it's a video tutorial!

[LaughingOtter]

Oh, so THAT'S what happened. I was all ready to put up some blather about zombies, beer, and pinball and *poof*! no vpforums!
OK, then, that gives me time to prepare a surprise or two on the Pinball Locator...

 

[Noah Fentz]

The DBs have finally arrived and we should be up tonight.

Thanks for being patient everyone.

Ha, brilliant come-back, Bob.
I you on your wit.

sad news. I don't have the Beany and cecil table that we are to use for the MJ makeover in vpf...org. I wanted to add some table graphix into it but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone here have it? I am also having problems with the pass it on table the ball hangs up on the dam clock. I can't figure out how those walls work to lower it! sorry to post this here, I am just looking for that table mainly
