Server Work!



We will be taking Subeta offline tonight (technically, Wednesday) at 1AM subeta time. We are taking it down to do a few things:

* Add another layer to our backup operation, which will enable us to quickly recover from any sort of hardware failure in our database.
* Move to a more stable and better supported fork of MySQL.

What we have to do to make this change is export the entire database and send it to our secondary server, as well as reimport it on the main server. Since they\'re all on the same network (or machine) this should be a fairly quick process.

We don\'t have an ETA on how long the site will be down, but it shouldn\'t be more than a few hours.

Thank you for being patient as we get Subeta running the best it can! ❤

Aw, I hate it when the site goes down because I always forget that it's down and try to come here a million times. xD

I'm glad you guys are working on making Subeta even better, though. :) I hope all goes well.

XD Keith you probably just saved me. I'm suppose to start a temp-fill in position for a friend's secretary to-morrow and I need to go to bed early. Haha, you just gave me that reason to go to bed early XDDDDDDD
