We're moving!

[sunrunner_pei]

The Grand Am Owners Club (GAOC) will be relocated to a new server sometime in the next 24 hours. We will be taking the forums offline at the beginning of the transfer to reduce the risk of lost posts/registrations. We don't expect the transfer to take too long, however we are at the mercy of DNS propogations around the world.

Thanks for your continued patience!

Translation: If your ISP sucks at DNS, we'll see you in 2 days. ;)

No, we are not anticipating any data loss. :) And because both servers are up, if the transfer fails we will simply go back to the old server and try again.

are you keeping the same forum layout or changing to IPB or something similar

[sunrunner_pei]

Everything will remain the same. We're simply moving to a new server in a new datacentre. :)

[Bjornboy81]

datacentre as in datacenter? :D

As of about 20 minutes ago ... we're on our new server!!!

WHOOO HOOOOO

Thanks Shawn!!!! :)

Awesome! The move was a smooth transition. The GAOC took about 3 hours to transfer due to the massive size of the forums database, and then DNS replicaitons took a couple hours longer.

Thank you all again for your patience during this necessary move.

:thanks:
