Server Downgrade will Impact Message Boards Temporarily

Dear Members,


During the next two weeks, we will be downgrading the server in which we use for the message boards. With changing technologies, the current server the message boards is hosted on is no longer necessary, particularly as we split the main website from the MBs several months ago. To that end, our host provider will be putting together a new server to host the MBs over the next two weeks. Therefore, when complete, the message boards will be offline for a very brief period (date to be determined) in which data will be transferred over to the new server so as not incur any data loss. The downtime is expected to last mere minutes.

 

We will provide further updates as we get closer to the migration period.

UPDATE: So, the hosting provider for our message boards took longer than expected to build the system and have it available for our use. I was informed today, after more than a month since placing the order, that the transition is now ready to take place. Therefore, starting late this evening, the message boards will be offline so that they can transfer our data from our current server to our new one. The physical work should take no more than an hour or so, with the overall server not going down except for maybe a period of five minutes. When I get the go-ahead, I will turn the message boards back on shortly after midnight tonight.

@BoldRestless, You spoke too soon!

 

My apologies everyone. The work was completed when it was supposed to but I fell asleep before I got the notice. After a few hiccups this morning, the message boards are back online. Again, my apologies for the delay.

    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
    • Thanks for finding that. I may have been thinking of this blog entry.
    • Just watched the "Dante Screams At Gio" scenes. Jesus. Talk about overload and overkill. That was obnoxious.
