I apologize for the short notice, but the tech department of my web host made a mistake and apparently reinstalled the wrong OS. So we're going to have another day of downtime coming up. (I just can't believe I didn't notice... :>_<: ) I only have until May 6th to switch or I'll start being charged extra, so I want to get it done as soon as I can.

I'll basically be doing the same thing as before:

-The forums will be offline starting at midnight (EST) on May 2nd (this Sunday night)

-The site itself will go offline at some point during Monday May 3rd

Luckily this time I'll know how to take care of the issues that came up during the last OS reinstall, so there will be much shorter down time than before. If anything changes I'll be sure to let you all know.

Sorry about this guys, I'm not any happier than you guys are about this. :(

I should see if I can get a free month of service out of this or something, this whole thing is just plain stupid. It's really an annoying process to reconfigure a server from scratch. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do in such a short time frame to make the process any smoother so I don't have much of a choice but have to do it once more.

(And way to put another dent in SSF2's progress Microsoft... I've got finals coming up, I really don't want to have to deal with stuff like this)

--EDIT--

Hakker has set up a temporary forum to go on during the down time:
http://z7.invisionfree.com/Mcleodgaming/index.php

Feel free to hang out there until the transfer is done.

I read this when I came here again after 3 WEEKS, and know more wait.
I feel sorry for you, Cleod (for having to deal with this). :( Oh well...

I can't really say I'm going to notice anyway. I'm fine with it.

Well I guess this means you get to take another break from SSf2 (even if it is going to be spent updating a site...well it's less stressful than coding a game right?)
