Host/Server switch - tomorrow (board will be down)

[HuskerGarrett]

First of all, please give a huge thank you to @alt f4. He not only provides us with juicy practice nuggets, he has also put in a ton of work with fixing our website issues. He’s the man.

We are almost done with moving everything over to our new host. Everything seems to be working well over there, now we just need to get all of the board data, the SSL certificate, and the domain names transferred over.

In order to get everything over, we will need to shut down the board briefly. We are planning to do this tomorrow afternoon. If all goes well, it will only be down for 15-20 minutes. If we hit a snag it may be 45-60 minutes max.

I’m super excited to be on the new host. There should be no more connection problems and the board should run smoother and faster as well. Thanks @alt f4 !!

Turd is gonna leak the info at this time, isn't he? 😆

 

[Tsakoi]

The coach is definitely going to be announced in that 15-20 minute window. 100%

On Thanksgiving, great now I'm going to have to actually talk to my family for up to 60 minutes?

I’m still going to hit refresh every 5 minutes

 

[Rebound96]

At least now we know when the hire will leak (approximately 5 seconds after the server goes down)

Thanks @HuskerGarrett.

Yes you guys will have to talk to family or take a nap a walk or take a few shots, but you'll survive. I've already talked with Turd, he's not announcing tomorrow, not really, haven't talked with him yet.

A few items to be aware of so you're not shocked.
1. The domain name will switch over temporarily tomorrow to platinum-board.com right after I'm completed with database transfer. You will automatically redirected to the temp domain name if you go to theplatinumbaord.com, no need to type it in.
2. You will have to log back in, but all account information will be brought over and passwords will remain the same.
3. I'm hoping by locking down the board for during the database transfer, I can avoid any losing posts, likes, or messages.
4. The domain name will switch back over to theplatinumboard.com automatically and platinum-board.com will redirect automatically to theplatinumboard.com. You might have to log back in at this time as well.

I'm trying to make the transition as smooth as possible for the board with limited interruption.

Should just do it during the game Friday Garnell

Nice and good luck…a lot of crackheads on the board who will immediately spiral if it doesn’t go smooth.

What do you expect me to do during that potential hour - actually talk to my family? They suck

It's a tradition as old as the ages.....you must switch servers if you switch coaches.

And who are we to go against the wisdom of our elders? We wouldn't want to have our ancestors look down on us with ill favor.

"Change the server to serve the program."

Garrett and Alt honor the old gods and so should we all.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I'm not thankful for that

We discussed going down to a Tier 2 host but after renegotiating decided to spend a little more and get one of our top host candidates

Those sacrilegious heathens at On3 will probably maintain their current server and be cursed as non-believers. The gods will send a plague of potatoes to their boards.

Board down on Thanksgiving Day?

 

[MtnHusker]

Remember when Rivals would update on Dollar Dean? Deer Lowered were those fun times. It would always shit the bed and he'd have 100 posters calling for his head. Or when 2 years in a row all of the Rivals sites crashed on signing day because of too much volume. I take a day off of work and end up sitting there with my dick in my hand cuz his Rivals Radio Shack Commodore 64 like Server crashed. Good times

Not that I don't trust alt f4, but we do have a Discord chat server set up, so if you want updates on whether the site is up or down or even general Husker updates, come to this:
