Chris Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 After our ongoing troubles with the forum over the past few days, we've decided to bin Dreamhost and move to a new server. As such, the forums will be inaccessible for some people over the next 24 hours as the DNS propagates and also we've rolled back the forums to where they were about 24 hours ago. Sorry if you've lost data, but this needed to be done as we can't risk having instability when we launch on Steam. Hopefully we won't need to do any more of it. Thanks to Solver, who helped with the migration and is currently providing our webhosting! We have more control over things that we did with Dreamhost, so that can only be a good thing.

Waladil Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hopefully the new setup holds steady! I wasn't able to access the forums a little bit ago, but they seem faster now. Not sure if this is just one of Dreamhost's better moments or if I'm already on the new forum. Either way, hopefully it stays this quick!

Solver Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Welcome everyone! If you're accessing the forum now, it means you're on the new forum and not on Dreamhost anymore. The new forums may not yet be accessible everywhere in the world, but the hosting change has already propagated quite widely as evidenced by the people being here. Almost everyone should be able to access the forums within the next few hours, and it will be working for everyone tomorrow. Please do report speed or other issues.

Chris Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Unless you're reporting the speed is great, in which case feel free to report it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It's awesome now. It flies through everything. Good work Chris and Solver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidsoft Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 About time you switched hosts eh? New one seems awesome so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It's lightning fast, now. Very excellent. Good job, guys! EDIT: It's almost jarring how fast it is, now. My post was instantly there, instead of waiting for five to ten seconds like it usually did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hmm... looking at earlier problems with Dreamhost, they were due for the axe. I guess sooner rather than later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwell Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Well, i'm pleased to exeprience a "normal" forum experience, it was getting a bit annoying and worry-some, since Steam opening will, most likely, bring sh**-storms Good jobs guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Works now, thanks Solver. I gotta say people from the forum have really pulled Goldhawk out of some shitty situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinetree Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Finally we have some good speed! Managing post attachments is still broken, I've been wanting to delete the attachment from my mod post for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raziel1981 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 The site seems to work much better. It was really annoying through the last weekend to try and connect here. Thanks for the upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Finally we have some good speed! Managing post attachments is still broken, I've been wanting to delete the attachment from my mod post for ages. Did you try going into your forum settings at the top, then into attachments on the left bar? You can see the attachments you have made, select and delete them from there. Might get rid of that annoying one completely for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solver Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) I'm happy to report that, as we approach 24 hours of the forum being hosted here, the server hasn't had any slowdowns, and the forum is consuming a negligibly small amount of resources. The attachments are indeed still broken and I've made sure it's not a plugin-caused problem, nor is it a forum style problem, nor a server-side setting messing with them. I will investigate that further though it is an unexpected issue. EDIT: If anyone experiences the forum redirecting to another forum, please do not be concerned. It means I momentarily did something wrong with the settings and will return things to normal within minutes.

radiognomeinvisible Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My thought, you should've left them a year ago, when it turned out they can't even do a proper backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
