The Dumpshock Forums have been moved to the new server that was mentioned the other day. Some of you may have noticed that things were up briefly and then rolled back -- we had a minor database problem and had to rollback an hour or so. At this point, everything should be stable.
There are quite a few Dumpshock related sites that are going to be down over the next few days as I work to get them migrated to the new server, but I wanted to get the forums moved ahead of time if possible. Fortunately it worked out and we were able to avoid any major interruption here. Please bear with me as I work to get the rest of the sites up. |

Yeah, sorry for the silence on my end. I'm working on getting things moved over, I've just been buried at work this week and have a lot going on this weekend. Regardless of that, I'm going to spend time on it Sunday night and try to get the majority of the sites restored.

Update: Dumpshock.com and the Sixth World Wiki have been restored.
It's going to be a couple of days before I can get back to it and bring anything else back online. |

Update:
1. IRC. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like IRC will be making a return. The server move was really a move from our own colocated server to a VDS or virtual server hosted on HTML.COM's hosting cluster. As you long-timers know, HTML.COM has provided free hosting for Dumpshock for a number of years, and this was in the form of free rack space and bandwidth. They recently changed data centers to a location which would have made it cost prohibitive for me to continue to host the physical servers with them. HTML.COM doesn't feel comfortable with us running an IRC server in one of their VDS systems because of the historic problems that IRC networks have had with DDoS attacks and the like. At this point I don't have a way to host an IRC server, but I'm happy to publicize one if anyone else wants to take up the slack. 2. The remaining sites and mailing lists will make it up eventually. I have been slammed with life in general (selling my house, end of the kids' school year, work, etc) and just haven't had the time to get to it. It's on my list. |

I noticed tonight when I logged in that the www.Dumpshock.com address is currently directing to the Ancient Files rather than the standard WordPress page.
Uncertain if this was caused by bringing more of the sites online. Thanks! |

www.dumpshock.com has always been the Ancient Files. The chocolate ration is being increased to fifteen grams. Report crimethink soonly.

Well, thanks for the information Mark. Sucks that IRC is gone, seems alot of people have scattered to the winds.
If any of them are smart enough to check here, you can find me on Undernet, just look for Maelwys or MaelAFK :) |

Hi, folks.
Few qustions: - http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.frp.cyber/ - is it new adress of ShadowRN? I found there my post sent to dumpshock mailing list... - I can't reach http://matrix.dumpshock.com/raygun/ . Just me, or this site isn't back yet? NB, maybe link to external IRC on http://dumpshock.com would be enough for DS community? Just a thought. |
