dMw, BlackAdder and the future.......

Update:

Work is underway to provide a new home for our game servers, the forum, the website and the 'Dead Men' email accounts.

We will start the migration as soon as possible with a completion date of early December. This will obviously result in disruption but with the server performing so badly it's something we have to do.

In preparation, can I ask all members with dead men email addresses to make sure that they are not being used where missed emails could cause a problem. I suggest you change your ED profiles to non-dMw email addresses for example.

Remember that we have a backup forum that should be used should this main one go AWOL - http://www.goodbaby.co.uk/deadmen

More info as I get it.

Good luck with it and if I can do anything to help just ask.

Update ...

A copy of the website and forums are now working happily on the new host. We just need a couple of things to be put in place and then we will switch over. There will be a period of downtime and the inevitable DNS catch-up issues.

Our game servers should be ready to roll within two weeks.

You can cough up money? that quite some trick we'd all like to know

Well done guys on sorting out the server issues. I fear it wont help me with my dam internet connection at home though. I think our building has now maxed out its contention ratio :-(

Please give me a reason for this secrecy. We are a community and we own the servers. I think we have a right to know. <_<
