Everything is ready to be moved to the new server, all that's missing is to transfer the database over, which will be done last minute to keep the site up as long as possible, and for the tech guys at the datacenter to transfer my IP addresses over to the new server.
I'm going to close nation for maintenance tomorrow morning and let them know they can go ahead and move the IP addresses. That will probably happen at some point during the day when I'm at work. Meanwhile the database will be transfering to the new server with my slow canadian upload, so when I get home all I need to do is last minute configurations and then put the site back online.
Nothing will change on your end, unless you uploaded an avatar as of last night, then you'll need to reupload it.

So Mabination will be down the whole day or most of the day? In that case, why not send a massive PM to everyone to inform this (since I know a lot of people don't check the news section) and invite them to the iRC channel during down time.

Seems unnecessary. It's just half a day, if that. Most people won't even know it went down. Maybe a notice should be put up with the IRC if that's the main goal in this.

It is more geared towards advertising iRC use.

I'll post the IRC info in the maintenance message.
I'll be at work the whole day though, won't be able to answer any questions people might have.

everything is confirmed with the datacenter peoples, so tomorrow morning when I wake up I'm taking nation down for maintenance, and it'll be back up by evening. It'll also give enough time delay to fix the ridiculous clock issues.

Oh. Thanks!~
I was kinda worried when I couldn't access the message you wrote for a while, but I guess it's all okay now ^^

People should go on the IRC anyways, it's a fun place to be, but it needs people.

Stuff loads instantly on my end, though I wouldn't be surprised if the connection is being overloaded right now, almost 200 people came on at once.
