Hey Everyone. Just wanted to wish you a happy and healthy New Year and hope the holidays have been great.
I do have some news. It's not bad nor is it great. I just received an email from our web host (Gray Web Host) that he is closing down shop. He also didn't give too too much warning so I have until January 31st to find a new host, as our web hosting is being terminated. That's as much as I got right now and will be reaching out to our host since he said there's another service that he is recommending to people. I'll be taking care of this in the coming weeks and will keep you all in the loop about any disruptions or whatnot.

Happy New Year and I’m sure things will be sorted. :thumbsup:

Update! I'm doing a backup of the site now. This is the one I'm going to use to migrate but I'll probably backup the database one last time the day before the migration. I think I've also made a decision on a webhost. I'll pick a day to do the migration, probably an evening this week and I'll let you know. Expect some downtime. It's been a while since I've migrated hosts so not sure what to expect :)

sounds good.

Just signed up for a new host. I put in a ticket to migrate the site. I'll let you all know when it's done.

:thumbsup:
YAY!

Whew. What a process. So we are on the new server. Sorry if there was a day where you couldn't post. There was.....well something went missing lol. A critical file went poof somewhere along the line that allowed the site to work so posts, topics, all sorts of fun things that make forums what they are wasn't working. Took me a while pouring through data and errors to finally figure it out. I uploaded the missing files from a backup I made prior to the move. But it should be all good now :) Anywho, if you notice anything not working right, let me know and I'll look into it.
Also, you're gonna notice some posts from the last few days are missing. Since it took me a few days to get to doing the backend things I needed to do, the backup the new host used to migrate was a few days old by the time I got to it last night. Sorry about that :(

yeah. a few last posts in this thread are missing. its okay though. i can post it again from memories and add some more details that i forgot to mention probably in the nearby future so its should be okay.

I never noticed any issues to be fair and it all seems nice and smooth at least. :thumbsup:
