No new articles or comments on TechRepublic on Tuesday, July 10

For our loyal community members who are here every day, we especially apologize for the inconvenience that there will be no posting in the forums for 24 hours on July 10 (Pacific Time). We're hoping that this data center move will improve site performance in the long term, so that's the bright side. Anyway, I hope you'll hang in there with us for a day while we get this move completed.

No Spam Hunting.

OH and I really hope you enjoy the move they are so much fun to be involved in. HONESTLY.

BUMP

Hope everything goes as smoothly as possible

Looks like a very complex task ahead.Hope it goes well.

Tech Republic is not going to "upgrade" the backend to AWS are they?
The sister site at ZDNet did that last week, still a lot of kinks to work through,
As Col mentioned, guess we get a day free of spam! Unless you enjoy the
canned variety!

..Now go and enjoy the beach (or lake or pool)... read a book.... massage my feet... bring me some chocolate ice cream.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

-Tammy

Forget that just give me more

CHOCOLATE.

OH I forgot You can Not Fatten a Thoroughbred.

Col

if you were in my neck of the woods, I could fix ya up on the ice cream
and the chocolates! My little drugstore fountain works wonders, hehe...
and I have Sweet Shoppe handmade chocolates! Shakes, malts, floats,
and fountain drinks have been pretty hot items lately...hot weather!

edit to add: Forgot to mention, coffee is still only 25 cents a cup! Free refills too.

if we ever make it down here, i'm never leaving your shop

I thought this place was on lock-down.

The Different Time Zone that I'm in that is allowing the Posts to still continue.

Of course Jason could always have been telling us all Pork Pies and the Techs overrode what the Accountants said would happen.

Col

Everything will still look the same. It's purely a backend move in this case.

of a day without spam, myself...

still go on (and still be 'interactive'), right? I believe we're meant to log in prior to its start.

You can now post again!

Thanks for filling customers in

It's done now

The site has officially moved into its home in the new data center. You may now resume normal activities.

and so are the spammers and zombies!

the Q&A is only showing posts from July 5 and previous... tried refreshing
the page, still only showing latest Q&A as 7-5-12...will check back in a bit,
maybe an hour or so, and see if it is still heading towards a time warp!
Gotta love those event horizons!

If we delete Jason's Post above will we still be able to post or will TR go Off Line again?
