Hi everyone,

We're upgrading to a much faster network connection here, so I'm going to need everyone's patience. As with any network outage, though, there's going to be some server downtime. My guess is everyone will be offline for some or all of the next two-four days or so. Thanks for your patience!

If you happen to be online and able to chat with people, please let them know what's going on.

Just FYI: The blip we had this evening (we were down from 6:00 - 6:30ish) was NOT the main downtime we'll be having. We'll still be down for the better part of the rest of the week.

...

Probably.

Thanks for the heads-up.

This site is like, a pastime since browsing the net can be so boring at times. Now what will I do? Actually go outside and enjoy the sun? Pfft! My nerdly skin must remain pale looking! ....actually it is extremely hot out there^^

Thanks for the heads-up, Mith. By the time it's back up I'll probably be on my way to CIY! Ah well, I guess you guys'll see me in a week and a half, then

You know, "My Nerdly Skin" would make an excellent Emo band name.

Aw, crud. Now I'll have to settle for standing on the curb and telling random passer-byes what my favorite TV show is, instead.

Remember, everyone, that you can always come hang out at CAA's sister site (Anime Angels) in any instance such as this in which CAA happens to be down -- be it planned or unplanned.

In the meantime, I hope the upgrade goes well, Mith. ^_^

Mass-Migration to Anime Angels...I think it's time for another CAA-Walkabout!!

Well, this will give me more time to work on Erewhon.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ah, so this is actually happening now. As far as actually being down, is the specific timing kind of like repairmen? "We'll drop by at some point between now and August" and all of that?

I suppose one day I will be pleasantly surprised by an additional half hour in my schedule.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 11, 2007 12:21 pm**

Yeah, it'll probably be right in the middle of someone's arcade game. Pictures it: "Drat! I was just about to beat that high score!"

Crap dude, right over the Pokemon Tournament time...

Don't tell me people don't realize these two things are related...?

:lol:

I guess people still reading this at least deserve a lolcat for the effort...

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:43 pm**

so the faster network connection is the reason for the sig pics?

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 12, 2007 11:23 am**

No, the cat did it.

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 12, 2007 4:33 pm**

Well, it hasn't happened yet! (knocks on wood)

I know. Every day I keep loading the page thinking "is today to d-day?" and it never is... Yet...

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 12, 2007 7:28 pm**

I'm getting a little tad suspicious. Is this really going to happen? There's something about the capital letters that makes me wonder......

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 12, 2007 8:02 pm**

I blame the government spreading server panic propaganda.

CAA DOWN REST WEEK... Ok let's start decoding this message...

It's been a long time since we've had one.

I guess it wasn't obvious from the above, but the downtime here is being caused by a change to a faster line. That meant the DNS entries had to change as well. As a result, people who's DNS servers still point to the old IP address will experience downtime. I setup the DNS server to have a very low TTL, but it looks like that's not working right for everyone yet.

I didn't mean to imply that EVERYONE would loose access SIMULTANEOUSLY for the ENTIRE time.

Everyone'll just be down for part of the time here, that's all I meant.
