SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 3, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 3, 2009 At last, we are back and up and running on our new server. Did you miss us? Miss us or not, we've been full on with this move for more than 48 hours now - major server moving is no fun. Anyway, the nightmare is now over and we can look forward to time spent in more luxurious surroundings. We are sorry for the almost two days that the Forums were closed but some quality foundations have now been laid for the future. More info on the move here, if you're interested: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/315641/Welcome_to_our_new_home.html#Post315641 Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Bit more than just "unplug, pick up the boxes and plug them in again somewhere else", I take it! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 more like backup, install and restore into new boxes Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 3, 2009 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 3, 2009 There's also a lot of testing involved. And switching of IPs and settings and lots of other technical stuff that I totally don't understnad. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I was lost, but now I am found. Ended up reading more of the Daily Mail yesterday which was scary. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 well I dunno anything of the technical stuff involved, but I have moved the actual cases that mainframes go into....man they are heavy and very difficult to move around......so well done!! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 3, 2009 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 3, 2009 None of us have ever actually seen our server. It's in some secret mega-security bunker that needs finger print and retina scans like the ones you see on the Outer Limits*. I bet there'll be some scary security people and possibly some cool robots too. (* Hopefully without the aliens) Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted June 3, 2009 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thank you. I don't know if this is a breach of security, but SJ#1 sent me a photo of the new server, also showing the newly recruited SJ#6 doing some last minute checking. Don't show anyone else..... Click to reveal.. Come a long long way since the first one back in 1999: Click to reveal.. Link to post Share on other sites

Click to reveal.. I hate to say this, but the newly recruited SJ#6 bears a striking resemblance to Bob Putin, bastard half brother of Russian former KGB officer and president, Vladimir Putin. Could be just a coincidence but... Link to post Share on other sites
