They're down. They are moving to a new web host.

Sorry that I don't know much more than that.

A wise man does not dwell on his past. He learns from it, he grows from it, and then moves ahead into his future.

And some wise words from a wise man. :P

well at least it isn't me. I thought I might have slipped off the deep end but it turns out I still have a tenative grasp near the drop off.

Silver Spire forums are here: http://www.forums4free.net/Spire/

I had trouble loading them earlier today, but that location seems to work now.
So much fun,
yet so little time to enjoy it.

The forums will soon be moving from their less-than-adequate current locale (hosting loss prompted the rapid move) to a dedicated hosting facility within the next couple of weeks.

Of note: The server will also be changing locations (and IP) on Friday 03/04/05 @1200hrs CST.

Is this a new Forum?

It doesn't seem to know me any more :shock:

Forgotten, cast off, thrown away, they don't seem to want me any more :cry:

Oh quit whining, Nighthawk.... :D

Yes, you'll need to re-register on the new forums (bleh). Don't worry, if all goes well, we won't be there for long and will set up house in nice, new, shiny, tidy forums like we were before. We'll post the new location as soon as it's finalized.

I think NH's worried about his post count being transferable or not.

Heh.

LOL :shock:

More a question of some of the actual posts than the postcount.

Who cares about the actual postcount?

When the move to the new forums happens we'll be able to upload our database from the old forums to the newer ones. This should restore all the old threads (and post counts :wink: ) to where they were before.

As some have already seen, the forums are down. This time due to a hardware issue at host we use. It is being worked on.

Oh yeah...

YARR!

Guys,

I created a temp forum for you over at http://www.rpgn.net so you can communicate until you get your issues resolved.

It's there if you need it.

It's not in Australia.

The server is hosted by a colo here in the U.S.

It's only the owner of the server that's an Aussie. ;P
