    At this point I think I have covered everything that could possibly go wrong in transitioning the forum from the old servers to the new servers, we'll find out for sure next week!

    Once I start, the process should go:

    1. Put forum into maintenance mode
    2. Create a database snapshot
    3. Spin up new database and servers in new infrastructure from snapshot
    4. Move DNS entries from the old load balancer to the new load balancer
    5. Take down maintenance message on new forum servers
    6. Delete old server infrastructure


    Should be an exciting day.

    Once this is done, PAFOA's setup will be all brand-new and shiny with systems to allow us to properly and easily deploy upgrades to the infrastructure and code bases.

    Then we will move onto Phase 2 as Emptymag has suggested, but instead of underpants, we will be stealing your reloading supplies. It's still a pain to get powder. Then I will sell it all online, buy a private island and spend my days laughing and sipping mojitos.

    I may also begin the process of upgrading vBulletin too.

    Ok, just so long as you leave behind some pizza for us.

    Forum has been transitioned to new servers and as of yet it appears nothing is on fire.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we surface a few bugs so please report any errors you get while using the forum.

    Next stop: Upgrading vBulletin over the next couple weeks.

    Every time this happens and I'm not aware in advance I contemplate going home, putting on my body armor, and setting up the belt fed on a tripod in the living room. I always imagine when they come for us they will take down the forum first. That will be our only warning!!!

    Verified, something seems broken with that, possibly cookie related. I have filed a ticket for myself. Thanks streaker.

    You don't wear your body armor 24/7 and have the belt fed already set up in the living room? Rookie, you will be the first to fall

    I tried that button a few times when I joined. It never worked for me so I quit trying to use it.

    I'm also seeing some HTML when quoting a post.
