3/19 PART 1: I had a minor techinal issue this weekend (I was sick as all get out, and just could not crawl to the computer). Today 3/19/2012 at 2:00PM Pacific, the site be placed in "Maintenance Mode". This will last long enough to get the database moved, the new site tested, and everyone using the new domain url. I had made an error before; the new site URL will be http://part15.activena.me (yes, thats a legit domain)until the DNS propagates out.
--- ORIGINAL MESSAGE ---
Ok - with all the freakouts, and speculation as to the future of Part15.us; this really comes at a bad time.. BUT here goes:
In an effort to ensure the best quality service and uptime/speed/etc, Part15.us is moving to a better hosting provider (also more expensive..) I am really hoping there will be no interruption in service, but there will be a brief period where the database will be locked so that we dont lose anything.
We will have a temporary URL to point to, which will point directly to the new host:
once the DNS props out everywhere, you will be able to use the standard URL again.
Don't Panic.
I got it.
Will stand by.
I am locking the database at 8AM GMT-8 on 3/17/2012
As soon as the db dump is complete, I will post the temporary URL to go to.
Everytime I search a topic and part15.us comes up in the search results, I receive "page not found." Is this an effect of the upgrade and will it be resolved? This happens when searching from Google or the search box on the part15.us site. Thanks.
Hi Rfreeman779 - thanks for pointing this out and yes indeed - it was an effect of the upgrade. As always it seems, even the best laid plans can miss a step or two! Should be all fixed now - let me know if you spy anything else that needs to be fixed.
Cheers!

Thanks. Just gave it a try and it appears to be working just fine.
