The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
This will affect eden.gley.net forwardings as well as the boards mailboxes. There's going to be some changes. No one will notice probably.

Re: The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
When I saw you made a post in General I feared for the worst, seem like that was a good idea because this don't sound bad.

Re: The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
Cookies need to be renewed, have fun logging back in.
That being said, this forum has been through SO MUCH SHIT.
- Migrated from Digitalgeek
- Scorsese got hacked and someone deleted everything
- Tried to restore those posts out of an old backup, but somehow, indexing got messed up (still is, but works
)
- Custom code modifications of which 75% aren't working (but still exist)
- At some point, restored lost usertables but doubled all the internal reflinks by accident (it's still like that, every user exists twice in the database, but not all of the data is there... board still works)
- Moved servers and failed (thrice)
- Several code updates from phpbb, all of them broke something in the database which I manually fixed...
It's a surprise that this forum is still running somehow. I cannot update the version anymore (destroys memberlist permissions), the internal backup function is useless (backs up unrestorable junk) and - some people may remember - the "Test user's permissions" link destroys the own user completely (still does).
At least I don't have to fear losing anything anymore, the forum is now on a machine with automatic backup, instead of a physically unaccessible machine buried under tons of cables in a secret place no one knows about!

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams-

Lies are a funny thing,
they slip through your fingertips because
they never happened to you.

I wish that thing had a remote self-destruct button.
Update your bookmarks, there may be a day when 145.253.253.226 won't work anymore. Right now, it redirects back to eden.gley.net using the 404 doc, lol. Nothing else left there anyway so \_/

Re: The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
Isn't this how it always was before?
I seem to remember always getting here by typing eden.gley.net (without the www or anything) before the change happened to begin with.

Re: The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
eden.gley.net used to completely redirect to 145.253.253.226 without it having any reverse dns - so the browser bar won't display eden.gley.net.
If your bookmark doesn't say the 145 address, everything's fine.

Let me know if you see anything borked, besides the girl in the eden tour bus missing.

Re: The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
I always typed eden.gley.net and never had a problem either.
Thanks Lutia!

Re: The domain "gley.net" is about to be moved
I demand a doubled post count as I have fallen behind in standings, at this point it is nearly impossible to catch up to vd and plois unless I start necroing every thread ever with a +1.
that is all.
that is all.

If I start a post recount, I expect one or more of these things happening:
- Forums break
- Numbers displayed are random garbage
Denied.
