Server migration / forum downtime / competition status
This is a maintenance news bit, but it contains information about the competition and some good news, so please, do read it.
I assume many people were wondering where the forum went today/yesterday. Well…since many people complained about the infamous “IPS Error. Can’t connect to the database” message and the problem was simply not intending to hit the road and come back no more no more no more no mor-o; I contacted the tech support of the lovely hosting company and they recommended migrating both the site and forum databases to a faster-performing database server.
The site transition lasted about ten minutes overall, so I assume the most of you didn’t even notice it. I hope there are less site access errors now, if you see them as often as before, please contact me.
The forum should be working properly now as well. However, if it doesn’t, the sentence from the previous paragraph applies.
Regarding the creative competition: the submission deadline has passed and I’ll do my best to put the pieces up for voting in the next couple of days. Many thanks to everyone who entered and please, have patience. The days last only 24 hours and there’s so little time.
