No worries, thought an updated  eBay price list to include their fee's might be a go. 2 birds 1 stone.
Getting to the bank for transfers is made harder when they only have little parking spots to fit the truck in, with my current work hours it's not easy. I've been trying now for around 4months will put my donation in tonight

Awesome news.....BTW are we going to tell ute???? LMAO
Donation done, will still purchase when I get the chance :cheers:

Running pretty good at the moment...obviously because you're to busy, & not on here slowing it down!  :P

More likely because a lot have been lucky enough to get out there for the long w/end = less visiting ;)

server is being setup in AU at the moment. We have a number of additional things like DNS etc to be done.
So the actual transition won't take place until next week. There is also alot of data to move. We've tested the way to do it, but it's alot. (photos)

I'll definitely give everyone 48-72 hours notice prior to doing anything, so we can all mentally prepare for the migration.

in the past forum moves i have moved content and a few essential images (banners smilies etc:)) then do the bulky things like images at a later date. that way the text side of the forum has minimal downtime.. it just looks ugly for a day.
either way if you guys need a hand hit me up  :cheers:

Thats sort of the plan, once we have a fully operating new server, i will start the move of the 25gb of Photos. (will take some time). The core Database, and others will only take about 3-4 hours to move around.

Just a quick update... Everything is moving quickly now!

So far we raised $1689 via PayPal plus some Merchandise Sales as well. This allowed us last week to order the new server and pay 6 mths Hosting for a start. Today we got access to our new home and from what Justin (Firefox) is tell me she is a beauty. Very much overkill which leaves plenty of room to grow!

Justin is currently setting up the server and doing some dummy runs before we complete the forum migration. We will experience some down time where you will have no access to the site for 12 to 24hrs. But Justin will go into this further and give notice once we are ready.

If all goes well this time next week we should be running on our new home. (No pressure Justin!  >:D)
Cheers
Brett

Just a suggestion  ;D When the new server is up and running would it be possible to send out a bulk email to all members advising them of the fact.? There seems to have been a big drop off of posts by what were regular members.

Brett, Justin and others

I made a donation but far more importantly, please accept my thanks for all your efforts.  This is a great forum.

My two cents worth.  When I joined myswag, I made a merchandise purchase to contribute some funds, as I believe it was the right thing to do, but I really didn't need anything.  On other forums I participate in, they have a donation option.  Perhaps a donation option could be added as a sticky to the home page or something.  If nobody uses it, fine.  After all it would be a voluntary thing so no pressure on anybody.

Cheers

I'm not sure if it's related but when I use Firefox at home I get lots of connection problems that it becomes unbearable. However when I use Internet Explorer at work it's fine.

Guys,
Just a heads up..
Pending a few current transfers running for me at the moment.. (Moving about 25GB via rsync) to the new server. It looks like we can switch ASAP.
Which i know everyone wants to do. So it looks like tonight is going to be the night.!

I'll keep everyone up to date, but don't be too suprised if we do the migration. The good news is i am hoping the migration shouldn't take too long.
DNS will take longer, but i will post more details when i switch.

In the mean time (write this down!).. THe new host will be at    http://wwwau.myswag.org  (you will be able to use this URL whilst we transfer the DNS...)
It will point to the IP   101.0.70.91 which is on our new host. I will be posting maintenance pages, updates etc during the transition.

Pending these large file transfers go through, i will do the migration this afternoon and tonight.

Please also note: if you use the gallery feature (you may not know what i am talking about, if you don't, then don't worry about this message)
The gallery is currently located under www.myswag.org/gallery   on the new server this will change. The gallery is getting it's own DNS entry.. http://gallery.myswag.org it will still have the same content. Just a new DNS entry.

Anyhow once i finish up what i am doing i'll post what the plans are for tonight if any..
