August 10, 20241 yr Author comment_215212 Want this site humming for a new dominant era haha. My guess is site will be down for an hour or two. Report
August 13, 20241 yr Author comment_215263 FYI - Upgrade ran into issues (no site outages - just some stuff on back end before we could get launched). It will likely be this weekend. We will also be migrating to a new, faster and more efficient server at the same time. For the record - I could take an approach and shut down and do some conversions to minimize lost posts (but with a bit more outage) - but will probably opt to just migrate over and instead of shutting this site down for a period post migration to make sure I basically reback up the database - will instead just live with 1-2 days of lost posts in order to maximize up time for the site (this should mean, *knock on wood*, minimal site downtime, but at some point when we switch over we'll lose about 1-2 days worth of posts in between the server migration. Note: The data base is large so I could restore it all - but that would require site down 4-12 hours for migration + than another 4-8 hours for the upgrade. I'll drop a note just as a heads up around the ballpark time that we'll get it rolling. My guess is it will be over the weekend - ideally after the game or on Sunday. Report

Ideally I would get done before the game but I don't know that the server will be migrated by than. And it would be the recent commentary. Report

Actually, Jeff, aka DaWebmaster, started the original Bearstalk site, not me. He decided to move on, I am guessing to spend more time with his family. Great guy. I miss many of the original members that have moved on. Since his departure, if it weren't for Adam and DBDB, this site would vanish. We all owe the two of them so much for managing and maintaining this site. Report

August 15, 20241 yr comment_215297 There are very few places left on the internet that you can "Talk" "Bears" intelligently with sane people. Reddit, Discord, Twitter, Facebook, are all brutal and seem to get worse every day with some insufferable people. So I have no prob moderating here to keep this place alive. Report

August 15, 20241 yr comment_215302 I was wondering how this all worked because it has always run so smooth for so long. Whoever set this up did a good job. Report
