Nexus = Online Options

[Neuron Basher]

As some of you have no doubt already noticed, the new server is online and serving requests for the forums. You will see http://nexus-forums.dumpshock.com/ in the URL for the next several days -- do not bookmark links that start with this hostname - it's only temporary. The database that the forum data lives in has not yet been migrated to the new sever, but moving the web applications should alleviate the time issues that we've been having until we can get the database moved. That will happen today, but probably not until a little later -- be prepared for a (hopefully short) outage when we move the database.

The remaining Dumpshock.com sites and services (ie: IRC) will be moved over the next week or two in preparation for a rebuild of the old server. Expect there to be some outages while we're working on that as we wait for DNS to propagate. These outages should be short lived, and we definitely need your help in locating any problems that arise as part of the transition, so if you notice any stranger than normal behavior, please let us know. :)

Thanks again for all of the support that made this new server possible. I can't tell you how glad I am to be able to improve the performance and reliability of all of the Dumpshock services.
