So my eyes are bloodshot and I am on the verge of collapse so instead of writing a block of text I will illustrate my story with gifs.

Scene 1: We Reached Feb's Donation Goal and I am Excited as Hell About Upgrading Servers


Scene 2: I draft a plan of exactly how to migrate our servers.


Scene 3: I get the thumbs up from Montoya and fellow leaders to go ahead and migrate servers.


Scene 4: I start copying over and migrating server.


Scene 5: I get my first error. No biggy I will fix it!


Scene 6: I accidentally create three duplicates of the forums accessing the same central database. So they all look the same but are actually different installations (if you can follow that :P)


Scene 7: I exterminate the clones but then run into database errors that refused to resolve themselves.


Scene 8: Chrizz like a bawss helps me out this shithole.


Scene 9: Several more errors later we are done.


Scene 10: So what changed? I don't see anything changed?



No front-end changes the forums look exactly how they were before the migration. However we do have some more powerful hardware backing this forum up so no more crashes like you used to see in the past (when you guys overload my old servers). Lets see how long it takes before you guys manage to start crashing this server :P

All the Labor of Love,
SeungRyul

P.S. Im fucking tired.
