The Day The Server Died

by Jeff Clark on Jun 22, 2007 12:30 PM EDT in CelticsBlog

This is it folks. The old, injury riddled, CPU Error generating, limping like Wally, Bluehost server is being put out of its misery tonight at midnight (EST). We'll try to make the migration as quickly as possible, but we might actually be out of commission for a good portion of Saturday morning (and maybe longer, but we'll do the best we can).

Some requests:

Do not upload any avatars to the site after 5:00 PM. Just don't. Please. Its technical. That's all you need to know.
Even if you see the site operational after midnight, don't post anything after midnight because it won't get transferred over.
If you don't see the site first thing tomorrow morning - DON'T PANIC. Just wait an hour and try again.
If for some unknown reason the site transfer hits a snag and lasts into Sunday, know that you can still hear the Celticsstuff Live show at the old Celticsstuff Live website.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Are we going to have to register another account on a different website, or is it going to be the same website on a different server?

Perfect timing. It corresponds with the arrival of my in-laws. I will be away from my home and computer for a while that day.

Maybe I’ll finally be able to start posting in the forums again?

You will NOT have to re-register!!!

In fant, the site shouldn’t look any different Sat. afternoon. It will just …you know, …work.

A long weekend I suspect for wise Webmaster Bob and sleepless Jeff – good luck

The sequel to “Kill Bill II” becomes “Kill Bob III”

And as the flames climbed high into the night. To light the sacrificial rite. I saw satan laughing with delight the day.. the server died……..

Sweet.

‘Thank you for your cooperation.’

Is it wrong that I picture Jeff saying that in Robocop’s voice?

Thank you Jeff.

Are we still going to have our celticsblog accounts, or will we have to create new ones?

How does this affect the KG trade?

“How does this affect the KG trade?”

Maybe the reason KG didn’t want to come to Boston is the frequent unavailability of Celticsblog? I mean, what would have happened with Curt Schilling and the Sox if the Sons of Sam Horn board had been perpetually down? ;D
