Alright guys, here's the deal. The server Sonic Online is on is getting relocated to a new datacenter so on the 22 Feb, possibly the 23 Feb also, this website might give you one of those exciting "server not found messages". I tell you this so you do not throw your computer out of the window in frustration, believing your ISP is blocking your daily SOL fix!

He's the technical email about it for the sake of reference:


Quote

As part of an on-going improvement program, the SoltisTech server is being relocated to a new datacenter. This is due to take place on the 22 Feb at 10:00 CST (4PM GMT), which we have determined to be a time when the server receives little traffic. After the move is completed, the server will be housed at a Datacenter run by Colo4Dallas: http://www.colo4dallas.com/.

The entire process from start to finish will take less than two hours, though it is hoped that everything can be done in a sixty minute timeframe. Please keep in mind the server is be assigned a new IP address, so DNS propagation could take up to 48 hours. This is an area out of our control – we have set the TTL on all the DNS records to a very low value to ensure the new IP reaches DNS servers as quick as possible, but some DNS servers ignore the TTL value and cache results for a set period of time.

Heh, I still have my ROMS to play Project AFTER and Maddox's website to read through, so hopefully I'm good for the day.

Thanks for the heads up Requiem.

QUESTION!!!!! Will it just be Sonic Online that's going down, or will everything on this server be going down during that time as well?

Unfortunately, what Sway said. Somewhat unavoidable, much as I've tried. Still, we'll try and make it quick :D

Oh, one more thing, MoA: We're replacing your house with the new data center, so you should probably pack your things and check into a motel for a bit, what with all the demolishing of your fondest memories/leaving you homeless in the middle of winter. It just seemed like a good spot. God bless eminent domain.

Oh yeah, well the joke's on you because I actually live in a one-room shack I constructed illegally on a landfill owned by the city with internet access pirated from a nearby library, all to avoid paying taxes to the filthy Bu$h administration!

Wow, I admire your conviction. I'll just bulldoze Muzzy's place then, he's not too attached yet.

Come Muzzy, i'll teach you everything about the forest and how to live off the land. Say goodbye to your personal possessions too. Your going to learn how to eat, sleep, and make love to the trees.
