Just an FYI that we will be migrating to a new server on Sunday, August 2nd, and we will be down for most of the day starting between 7-8am EST until we're done. We're hoping it won't take more than 4 hours, but we've allotted the entire day just in case we encounter complications and have to roll back. We ask that you delay or reschedule any ending auctions for that date as well, as there's no guarantee we'll be up in time.

During the migration, you can follow our progress on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/NintendoAg...

Because we're also migrating DNS services, there might be a window where the site won't resolve at all. This is expected and will eventually work itself out.

The good news is that this new server is more powerful than our current server and will hopefully improve site performance (which has sucked lately), especially with some new things coming out soon.

After we're live again, we hope you'll pardon any minor issues that may be discovered with such a migration.

4 hours? How will we live?

I hope it all works out easy. I'm sure that can be tough.

I call shenanigans... Dain just wants to transfer his p0rn collection to the vast hard drive on the NA server..


Seriously Dain, thank you and James for all your hard work and the time you've put into getting the new server ready...  Hell for everything you do...

I want to thank you for making NA a great place for us to talk and do business. I don't think we thank you enough. This is just another example of what you do for us.

Dain man. Is your name a reference to that old punk band Dave Grohl played in for a few months in the mid 80s? This is really the most pertinant thing I can think to ask regarding server migration.
