Fair enough, these things have to happen at some point. Bit annoying timing-wise since I've got an overnight investigation planned for Saturday at a derelict farmhouse outside Swansea - was hoping to be able to post live updates and cross-reference some EVP notes with the community in real time. Might have to just dump everything on Sunday when things are back up.
Quick question for the admins - is there a rough ETA on when the site will be back online? Even a ballpark "Sunday afternoon". Or "Sunday evening". Would help with planning. Also worth asking: will the migration affect any of the older threads or attachment links? I've got a handful of posts bookmarked with embedded audio files and I'd hate to find those corrupted or missing after the move.
On the plus side, new servers should hopefully sort out the lag issues that crop up when a big thread gets going. You know how it gets when there's a live hunt happening and everyone's posting at once - the site basically crawls. If the new infrastructure handles that better, it's well worth the downtime.
Anyone else got anything planned this weekend that the outage might affect? Might be worth coordinating off-site temporarily - there's a Discord floating around for this community if I remember right. Could be a good backup for Saturday night if anyone wants to follow the farmhouse session.
