Server Migration

Unread post by machinebacon » Mon Jun 30, 2014 9:35 am

Thanks to the big heart and talent of Mister wuxmedia the linuxbbq.org domain has moved to a new hosting spot :)

If you experience any downtime for parts of the page, please be patient. Things will be back and on and off and on again in the next days, but we still love you.

So, big applauds to wuxmedia, and thank you very much my friend ;)

There will be a pretty long outage while the TTLs expire and you get the fresh DNS stuff.
The sites in built maintenance mode should kick in - to prevent any posts missing the boat on the db.

Tl. Dr; site offline? come back Tuesday sometime 8)
I'll be in the irc room.

Please post any complaints (shouldn't be any) here.
Google's already checking us out...

OK the upshot of this is not enormous for the end user.
Site should be quicker to load.

Mail accounts will not be affected at all, right now.
Nor will FTP accounts.
I am tempted to give out SSH/SFTP accts to people (once i've got the thing sorted out).
PM me.

i saw the message, then saw this thread, then decided i refused to let anybody tell me what to do and posted some shit here and there anyway, realizing full well that it might not get saved, which is no biggie, i just wanted to be anarchic and content.
