GTPlanet Forums Scheduled Maintenance Sept. 9 (Now Complete)

[Jordan]

FINISHED! If you're reading this, you're using the site on its new server hardware. Thanks for your patience, everyone!

On Friday, September 9, 2011 at approximately 5:00PM U.S. Eastern Standard Time (21:00 UTC/GMT, convert this to your local time zone here), the GTPlanet Forums will be temporarily unavailable while I move the site to new server hardware. Assuming there are no problems, the Forums should be closed for approximately 2 hours, coming back online around 7:00PM Eastern Standard Time.

During the transfer, you will not be able to access any page within the forums, post any comments to the News blog, or use the GTPlanet iOS or Android mobile apps. If you need to communicate with other community members during this time frame, please make other arrangements.

GTPlanet's Facebook Page will remain open and will be linked in the maintenance notice, so you should expect to find many other users there during the forum closure. I'll be commenting on the progress of the move at GTPlanet.org, if you'd like to follow along.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, though these steps are necessary to keep GTPlanet running smoothly as it continues to grow. Thank you to all of the Premium Users and advertisers who financially support our community, enabling me to provide it the world-class infrastructure it deserves.

As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Will this move also introduce GTP '11?

 

[Jordan]

No, this is a change of the underlying server hardware and infrastructure, and will not affect the site's appearance or functionality.

 

[HumanDestroyah]

Thanks for the heads up. Good luck with the site maintenance. I hope it's a smooth transition.

Will we be getting any new tracks,cars, or updates during this maintenance period. I want more premiums in "The Daily Babe Thread"

 

[Terronium-12]

New server hardware, huh?

Finally gonna implement one of those features I suggested a while back?

 

[Northstar]

Just one thing Jordan...



Thanks for all the work you've put into the site.👍

One off topic question. what is the point of the ":@:" smilie?

 

[Horde_R35]

Investing our money in the future is a good call.

 

[BryCivicSi]

Time to start the speculation threads. What new enhancements will there be? I hope Jordan reads my post cause I have lots of good suggestions to improve this site. Cause I am definitely disappointed by the lack of innovation here. I am not sure which there their they're I am supposed to use so I will use them all and hope for the best.

Muah hahahaha

PATCH PATCH PATCH PATCH PATCH PATCH!!!!!!1!1!11!!

Wait....maintenance doesn't always equal a patch...

GTP can only get better, keep up the good work Jordan 👍

 

[Darren.]

Hmm, I'll make sure I bookmark GTP.Org. Maybe, could we talk about GT5? Jordan, Good Luck. 👍

 

[Mike Rotch]

Hope this fixes the LSD glitch

Good luck with the transition

 

[Legendary]

Well placed notification Jordan, it was the first thing I saw logging in .

SITE MAINTENANCE NOTICE, its too big you can't miss it. More effective though, put a banner at the top saying SITE MAINTENANCE TONIGHT! with a link to this page.

 

[Spacegoat]

Just one thing Jordan...

👍

Good luck with the transition Jordan.👍

When does the site change in appearance/functionality anyway? Is it every few years or...?

 

[SolidSnake7735]

Good luck with the maintenance, been a member almost a year & it only gets better
which brings me to ask: How do we go about getting a Touge sub-forum? that would be swell

 

[nk4e]

Will you be giving us a head up on the back up site?

If people demand for one and it becomes a high traffic topic.

 

[nanabu]

good luck with the transfer mate , don´t blow it up

 

[DaxCobra]

Touge forum would be cool. Stupid maintenance, not as if it helps or nothing. Tssk... /cry

 

[PHCharls]

Good luck with that Jordan.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

Good luck with the update sir. 2 hours? Now I actually have to go outside.

 

[20832]

Good Luck with everything right there!
Since this maintenance is from 23:00PM to 1:00AM it's nothing that will effect my GTP - Addiction

Just watch how many thread will pop up when the site goes back online stating "Wasnt able to log on to GTP between 5 to 7 est, WHY??" "GTP glitch" and so on

 

[SportWagon]

You actually maintain a server room yourself? I'm surprised the site isn't on a commercial hosting site.

 

[Pupik]

I can't post to GTP while waiting for my flight, or sitting endlessly on the tarmac? Ah, well.

Good Luck, J.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Just another bugfix, don't get your hopes up for new content.



Good luck for everything.
