    We are getting ready to change the site over to the new servers and system

    With all the changes and upgrades we are doing, we have to move servers in a big way. We have enough domains and such that we prepositioned some to help swap things over quicker but it does change the .com, .net, info stuff that will be a bit of a headache

    The main thing you will see is the email system, we will swap it back and forth which will create hiccups in the email system as it transitions from server to server.

    The changes take as long as your ISP does to cycle the internet through their system. In other words, some people will be up and running faster than others. I get it's a hassle, clear this, reset that, restart it all over again just to visit a web page sucks ass.

    We will do our best to minimize the headache on your end, but hiccups will appear, no question some users will find it inconvenient. Hate it, but in the long run, we are upgrading and future-proofing a lot of the system behind the scenes to better run the site.

    Nobody's account will be affected, only system and process stuff like the email notifications will not work until the cycle is complete. You won't get dropped, lose post counts, etc, all that is good to go and backed up.

    Expect a shock to the system, will last about 3 days for everything to cycle through, most likely shorter but know it will break.
     
    Well, as long as we don't have to endure another "Post Count" debacle, let's getter going! 😂 Geezus that was brutal! But, but, but muh Post Count! That was some crazy shit. Grown Men bitch'n bout Post Counts. lol

    Mask on, send it...... :ROFLMAO:

    Seriously, the more recent upgrades to the site have been vast improvements. If I'm not mistaken, you're using the same geeks this go around. I think it'll be great. Yeah, maybe a few bumps getting there, but what hasn't been bumpy this year ? (y) (y)(y)

    No Scout

    really it's just an engine swap, we are just moving a ton of data, and it's like removing the Mind Stone from Vision's head, anything could and probably will go wrong,

    Will we see the changes that you showed me in TN??
     
    Ya, the site is getting ready to move to the slimmed-down version I showed you,

    I will have to hide for 3 days so I can mentally handle the backlash that is bound to follow, otherwise, I will ban 1.1 of the 1.2M users on here. I suspect a loud uproar for about 2 weeks.

    Guys will not understand the filters, and how to use the site, like every change we make, it will be ugly for a month then everyone will get used to it. Hopefully, when the new forum goes live we'll have the instructional videos up so people can practice.
     
    Nobody cares about your birthday

    I am honestly baffled by those who want their birthday online, you can't find the same birthday for me twice on anything, my birthday spans years, days, I always change the year or day


    Sez the guy that awarded himself like 25,000 Posts when we left Scout. :LOL: Wait, we're not bringing up Post Counts, right? 😂

    edit: btw Happy Birthday.
     
    Is it going to look like Brian enos forum?
     
    can we get specific Sub forums for desert tech and accuracy international.

    Awesome thanks

    Totally unacceptable. At work i am only told of changes AFTER they are implemented to my software and everything is broken, which I am then charged with fixing.

    (thank you for heads up)
