EZBOARD - Down time extended

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News : One Thread

The newsletter said:

"On Tuesday, April 24th, from 9:00 AM PST to 6:00 PM PST, we will move all ezboards to our new, much faster bandwidth provider. During this time all ezboards will be unavailable."

I checked just now and found:

"We expect to be back online Wednesday, April 25."

No time was given.

If you go to the message site, don't try to click your back button to get back here. Right-click your mouse and choose Currents top level. I hate when sites do that.

Here's my new grumble symbol:

Edit: Never mind, they cut me off. It was Bill the Cat doing a razzie.

They were moving HOW many server boxes to the new ISP and trying to do it in 9 hours????

MADNESS!!!

Heck it hadda take em 6 hours to simply unplug and move the boxes. NOW they are trying to rewire them into the ISP's network. I don't plan on em being up before Thursday early AM.

So, what if this 'down-time' is actually 'get-away-head-start' time?

REMEMBER that they TOLD us we might get a couple of days of DNS ERROR messages until the Domain Name Servers received the data, in however it is that this data is "propagated" (and I use the term loosely).

They didn't even tell me this (I have a private EZboard, hadn't sent any money) until today. Luckily I'd pasted the notice you folks gave to my board.

Ez did send out a newsletter with the info and also posted a notice link on the various boards (it was easy to miss). However, the ezboard private mail system is notoriously unreliable so you may have received three notices (as I did) or none.
