SS.org Moving to New Server Tonight @ 12AM EST

Alex · 01-06-2011, 07:11 PM

Due to increasing traffic to SevenString.org, and the periodic downtime from DDoS attacks, it has become necessary to move the site to a new, more powerful dedicated server.

This move is scheduled to be performed tonight at 12 AM EST. The downtime will be approximately 60 minutes. Some posts or threads may be lost during the domain propagation period. Domain propagation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Look forward to seeing you back here on the new and improved dedicated server!
