Database flip and server move

[weasel]

We've been running on dual servers for a while (save/load was still on the old server, everything else moved to the new server) but I'm doing the changeover tonight. I'm guessing if you're lucky you might get a few locked file/access errors briefly, or you might see some levels of yours disappear for a few minutes. Other weirdness may be abound. Not to worry though. All will be well.

As of 9:30PM PST the process has engaged and may take a few hours.

As of 11:30PM PST the process is almost done.

As of 11:52PM PST the transfer completed but the other requisite changes caused some "designID=0" save bugs; I reverted to the original copy and am looking into it. Things should still be working fine; keep designing!

As of 12:04PM PST I've given up on what I can do, I've passed the details off to pacifist and I'm going to bed.

4:00PM PST starting up again, might see the occasional glitch.

6:00PM PST new server is throwing me wacky errors. Very plausible that it is all my fault. Even compiled a special version of the game just for testing but still no go. Will try again tomorrow.

7:00AM PST Still working

So this isn't going to affect our membership status that we paid for, right?

Nope, no affect on your membership status at all. This is simply us finishing up a move from one host to the other; I'm announcing so that if you get some odd saving/loading glitches at specific times it's probably us tinkering with things.

hay wesal do you know if any of the "other plays desings" will be deleted?

[weasel]

They shouldn't be, nope. We have a process to keep everythign syncronized, they just might become 'invisible' or inaccessible for a few minutes while we do the swap over.

Kay thanks for answering my "noob" question. I'm just a little kid, so I don't know about this stuff. Anyway, may I ask an out of topic question? Is there an age limit to joining the forums (eg. 13 and above)?

Are we going to get caught in the hanging save thing again?
