We're in the process of moving BuildAndShoot.com to a much beefier dedicated web server. You may experience some downtime over the next 24 hours as we wait for DNS propagation to complete. Thanks for your patience!

Correct. And if you're reading this reply, then you're using the new server already and you shouldn't experience any [further] downtime from the migration. Green_Happy3

Well, at least the downtime was a bit quick.

to warn us, the thread was made around a day before the migration(could be wrong). So that means players would know the reason for the downtime and not flip out.

you are talking to nobrain.exe
so probably the different dates mean 24 hours is elapsed.

or something far more retarded, who knows.

When we migrate, we lock the forums on the old server. the last post on the old server was Izzy stating we are in the process of moving. We then copied the forums and uploaded them to the new server. On the new server the forums arent locked. During the first 24 hours of the move there is a chance your browser might direct you to the old locked forums instead of the new unlocked forums, thus izzy's statement that if you can read this then you are good to go.
