Welcome to the new server... again!

***tabacco*** · 04-07-2004, 07:29 PM

Well, here we are on another server. One we can probably actually afford, and to which I have the root password. Muahahahaha!

We have a little more bandwidth available to us here, so that we don't have to worry nearly as much about overrunning our monthly limit. Hooray!

This is strange. I can access the forums using Internet Explorer, but when I try with AOL it just takes me to that page about adding some IP address thingie to my hosts document thingie. What's up with that?

***tabacco*** · 04-08-2004, 07:13 AM

It means that AOL is doing some local DNS caching and is still taking you to the old server. If you know of a way to clear your caches, give it a shot.

Is there any chance it will just sort itself out eventually? I'd rather avoid "tampering with wierdness."

***Marek*** · 04-08-2004, 07:26 AM

Yes, it will sort itself out in a day or two (depending on when your internet provider updates its DNS info).

It's all back to normal now fortunately. I always get worried when the subject of changing servers gets mentioned.

You make a habit of chaning servers?

I heard that chaning servers can get you arrested in some states

Hot hot hot!

Thank you, tabsie!

Waitaminute. Let's evaluate: adventuregamers.com did something technical, and the forums weren't down for at least three-quarters of a year? And nobody suspects that we've all been sucked in the twilight zone or something? How VERY un-adventuregameresque, causing us regulars so little discomfort

*Jake* · 04-08-2004, 12:13 PM

The difference this time is that they're not hosted on Mixnmojo's server

Hmm, now that you've mentioned it, Fluxsie, your voice does sound noticeably less sexy.
