Hello there,

The skin switcher (developed by Farmer and Deathslayer) which will alternate between the Hibernaculum (the site skin) and Enlightenment skins was to be released today. It was going quite well, until I updated the final, vital file.

Due to the FTP not working due to problems with Zymic, and Zymic's File Manager removing vital backslashes, the chatbox effectively "broke".

Zymic are working on their server, and know about the FTP Troubles, but I'm still not sure how long it could be before we have the chatbox back.

It could be weeks, but hopefully not.

I'm sorry about this.

Please visit THIS topic, for a general chat thread. Do not spam on the thread, just use it how you would use the chatbox.

Thanks,
Curt


Okay, I managed to find some information:

Hello all,

Firstly, the past week has been a very unstable week, with FTP problems (some users can't login, some can't upload or edit), drive problems (PHP drive is returning disk full etc), and we have been aware with all of the problems which have occurred.

Our current platform simply can't cope with the current demand of close to 1000 hosting accounts per day, so instead we are upgrading to a new platform which will fix ALL problems and improve the speed of your web pages. We have just ordered 7 new web servers, however of course there is a catch; we have to move all websites to our new platform and servers.

We are currently working out on specific dates, but our plan is as follows:
1) Transfer .zymichost.com accounts to new server (we will do this first as these accounts are on our root drive)
2) Enable signups to a new server and new subdomain option. Update 2nd June: We have secured the website.sl domain name and are installing the new server now. New registrations will be enabled within 3 days. This will mean by then new accounts for this new domain will be on the new platform/server and things will work/be faster.
3) Transfer all other subdomains; .zxq.net, .zzl.org, .99k.org, .clanteam.com
4) Release control panel 2.0

We hope to enable signups within 5 days from now. We hope to transfer all websites within 12 days, however once we finalize our plan with our admins, the specific dates will be listed here.

The new server cluster will enable us to continually grow without any problems, once a server gets busy, we can add a new one to the cluster within 24 hours, whereas due to the complexity of our current system, this would not be possible, thus the cause of these problems lately.

We will try to ensure minimal downtime in the transfer process, however, there is always going to be downtime. If you run a popular website, or are opening a potential popular website within the next 3 weeks, I'm afraid it may be best to host elsewhere to avoid downtime, however we assure you no data is going to be lost, but there will be hours of downtime.

Thanks

Yeah. There were like 6 admins in the IRC, but none of them were speaking. Some other guy told me that they're going to get it fixed.. :/

Oh, I hope it will be back up soon. Maybe we should ditch Zymic? :P

Well, if we wanted to move over to 110MB again, we'd have to pay $14.00, for the services we have over at Zymic.

That's .htaccess, and SQL Tables.. :-/

So yeah. That's why I moved to Zymic, really.

It does indeed involve bread, fish, sheep, the last three merged, transformers, and h4xx0ring.
