Planned maintenance/Server swap - starting now Wed. 25/2 15:00 GMT+1

Greetings everyone - we have been listening to your feedback regarding the forum performance and overall site performance. As a solution to this we have been preparing for a server swap since the last week or so and today we're going live with this. This server will be a dramatic improvement to the current state of things and we believe that you'll enjoy our site even more once it's finished.

Due to how databases work there will be a slight rollback of the forum depending on when the database export is performed - there might be some turbulence with site connectivity during this entire procedure and we hope that you'll be able to forgive us for this before the DNS propagates to the new server.

As a solution to this if you aren't able to stand the pressure of not being able to reach the mortalonline site then you can type in a command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns - this command will flush your cache and allow the new IP to be stored in your cache instead.

Sounds good

Alright, hopefully this coincides with a possible update to the main page?

Maybe a race, or two?

Sorry for the delay in providing info, the actual server swap has been delayed until our current service provider goes through with our request.
