Server Maintenance (March 13, 2019)

[Mick]

Hey everyone,

On the 13th of March, we will be having a brief downtime to switch our hosting provider as we have completely reworked our network infrastructure. During the downtime, we will be moving and importing our data to the new server. We are switching over to our new setup to ensure that downtime will be minimal in the future.

The downtime should take between 30 minutes to an hour to complete, but it may take longer in the unlikely case that significant issues arise.

Our image proxy will also be set up within the week after we complete the move.

The maintenance will be held at 2 AM CST, or 7 AM GMT. A countdown timer can be found here.

Other live updates will be provided on our Twitter account.

Apologies for any inconveniences caused.

The maintenance has now been finished and was a success. At the moment the only thing that won't be working is searching while we rebuild the index, but that should only be a few more minutes.

Thanks Brent W! :tup:

EDIT: The search rebuild is done, everything should be working like normal now.
