ANNOUNCEMENT: We are moving.

[Ganymede]

That's right, motherfuckers. We movin'.

As of Friday afternoon, EST, we'll be 'porting over to a new place. That means that if you post at around that time such post may disappear. So if you can all stop cat-fighting for, like, 24 hours, that would be good. Or swell. Or something.

This new place is brought to you by Digital Ocean and our committee on fixing our problems here with disappearing posts. Please thank Faraday, Derp, Roz, and Arkandel when you can. And, like, not on Friday afternoon, 'mkay?

Just as a heads up -- very likely anything posted past 1:30ish today will be lost when we get everything moved over.

See above re: losing things for that 24 hour timeframe.

This is yet another reminder.

ARE WE MOVED? IS IT PARTY TIME?

[Tinuviel]

@silverfox Why would we have a party for moving the dumpster to a different alleyway? We're still IN the dumpster. And it's on fire. And covered in bees.

ARE WE MOVED? IS IT PARTY TIME?

No. We are having some technical difficulties. It might be a few days. The warning about anything posted after about 1:30 yesterday stands though.

@derp

Oh, okay. Pause the party.

@Tinuviel

Because despite the fire dumpster, we value this place and want the best for it.

Update:

We have the new site up and running. Sort of.

We can see that the posts have moved over. Which is good.

The bad is that the posts seem to stop in Early February of last year, so that's -- less than ideal.

We're going to try to run it again next Friday with a new database dump to see if it was just some weird fluke, because this is obviously not ideal. We would do it earlier, but there are very few available times that match up with when I can do it from work.

So. Yeah.

There's that. Carry on!

Without a dumpster fire, how can we cook and eat our marshmallows?

@tnp Mmmm, trashmallows

Wait? You've got marshmallows?

All I've got to cook on the dumpster fire here are scraps of banned trolls...

Welcome to the new MSB!

If you're seeing this, then you're on the right site. Congrats! We made it, ya'll!

Here's hoping that takes care of the various crashes and other nonsense that was happening.

If anyone has any issues with the new site, hit me up. You can do it here, or my Discord is Derp#2348.

Happy posting!

Thank you for moving the forum, but also, you missed a chance to name it NuMU Soapbox.

Don't think for a second that this wasn't discussed because it was. <.<

[MisterBoring]

Woo! Congrats on the move.

[Sunny]

Hooray!

THANK YOU!!

[TiredEwok]

Thank you for all the hard work everyone put into the move!

If you are accessing from the IP because the domain isn't pointing to the new site yet, you can help speed up the process with this:

chrome://net-internals/#dns <-- this does half the trick (if you're like me using Brave, just replace chrome with brave and it works. not sure about non-chromium browsers
ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder (Mac) <-- this does the other half of the trick from a command prompt
