Hmm, the move is delayed again. :?
We still can't achieve a good connection between the current server and the new one, and the cause of the blocking is not clear at the moment.
I won't risk giving you a date this time - it'll be fixed when it's fixed, as we say. I'll tell you when we have a better idea of what the problem is and how long it can take to fix it.
Don't worry, AAO will stay as it is now until we solve the problem.

Ponies are surely not the cause of this delay... XD

Also, Unas, how about a predicted time?
In the next month, week, maybe? :\

No.

They don't always do. :wink:
Last time we did one, I wasn't even warned beforehand, so I didn't announce it, and it only took an hour or so so people didn't pay attention to the short downtime :-P
This time the operation is a little more complex though, because the architecture of the server we're moving to is different from the current one, and they seem not to communicate very well together.

Well, I definitely hope it'll be done at the beginning of the week, since I wanted to do the "second step" I mentioned during the week, but I cannot promise anything as it doesn't only depend on us.

Aww, I was hoping that this happened already because I was pretty busy on these dates you mentioned. Now that the possibility of me being bored to death on some certain days is alive... D:

Well, I cross my fingers and hope everything will go smoothly. I'm sure it will though--you're Unas-sama~~~

Maybe this will be the exact opposite of CR. Instead of getting it done, it will never get started. :P

Indeed... because now we're still able to actually access AAO. :awesome:

Well, it looks like our connectivity problem has been solved (a router had gone wild between the two servers :-P)

If everything else goes well, the first step of the move should take place tomorrow, Sept 13th, any time after 9am French time zone.

Well, so far the facts are telling you right ^^'
My host wanted to setup a lot of safeties before transferring, and it took almost the whole day.
And now, it's almost rush hour for most of their hosted services (it's the end of the afternoon in France), so they don't want to shut down the server now and are postponing it to tomorrow.
The good news is that they didn't hit any major trouble this time. So hopefullyit will happen tomorrow...

Sorry for that... "uncertain" week :sawhit:
