Popular Post Optic Posted November 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hello everyone, Anime Forums will be undergoing a server migration at: 6 AM, Saturday, November 21, 2015 (Pacific Time) (10 PM, Saturday - Western Australia time) We are doing this move to get more increased storage, as we have almost outgrown our current server due to the increasing size of our lovely anime Galleries and file attachments. Our host will be doing a two-tiered approach: An initial copy will be done approximately four hours before the scheduled migration. At 6 AM, the server will be shutdown, and an updated sync will take place to copy any new posts and content that was made between the initial copy and the server shutdown. During this time, Anime Forums will be offline and not accessible. Assuming all goes well, we will be back online after the migration is complete. I don't have an ETA how long it will be offline for, but it should not take longer than a few hours. Thank you for your advance patience and understanding. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuji Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for the heads up @Optic! Now I won't panic when I can't access my beloved Anime Forums unless I forget.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorQinmon Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for the notice. I've been on some forums were they conducted a move without mentioning anything, and then the due to some difficulties the site was down for almost a whole week, and I had no idea what was happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely no Bueno. Best wishes @Optic for a successful migration. I have had plenty that have kicked my ass. Are you moving from shared to vps or something? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinO Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Migration finished? Not begin yet? I think the schedule time is 12:00H UTC (22:00H UTC+10) Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say it appears to be successful since we're still up 4 hours later haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hello everyone, thanks for your patience - the migration was successful. The migration happened a few hours earlier than expected - we did however have some bursts of downtime as services were restarted, it looks like things are returning to normal now. I will be closely monitoring Anime Forums in the coming days. Are you moving from shared to vps or something? We've been on a VPS for sometime now, the migration in this case was for moving to a different type of storage. As a result it required moving to a different hardware node. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorQinmon Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yay! Successful migration! I must have been a sleep when it happened, cause I didn't notice it being down at any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
