New ATS Servers Coming Online

A head's up for everyone...

The new ATS servers will most likely be coming online and taking over later tonight (EST).

During the transition time, ATS will remain up, but be "read only" while the data copies from the existing server to the new database server. (no new posts or threads)

If all goes well, we should be on the new machines before 11pm EST.

That is Great SO!
Let's hope that all goes well with not hiccups.
I am looking forward to see what the new servers will do.

Oh great..on the day i'm home alone...

Just kidding i hope all goes well. Cheers!

Brilliant! We've been in low bandwith mode for ages! Whats 11 pm EST in GMT?

Cool, I've waited for this very long...

Usually when there's a thread in one of the ATS Admin U2U's it gets tons of replies really really fast. I'm finally lucky enough to be one of the few people who get there fast enough to be on the first page!!

Well good luck with the server change and I hope all goes well.

GMT is five hours ahead of EST.

Most of the US is in Daylight Saving Time including the Eastern Time Zone. Does SO mean EST or EDT? EST is GMT-5; EDT is GMT-4.

In the immortal words of Towelie:

"I am so high right now, I have no idea whats going on"



Seriously now, whatever it is that is going to happen to the servers, it rocks
