VIC datacenter relocation
The server housing OzMPS is about to be relocated to a new premesis.
There will be outages during which the server is backed up prior to moving, and outages while the server is brought online at the new premesis.
I am about to run backup, so the first outage will happen very shortly.
During the move I may move the OS to QLD to keep the website online, however I am pressed for time, and worst case scenario, there will be a day or two outage while the VIC datacenter is brought online at the new premises.
Without further ado, I'll get started.
Legacy ads and banners removed.
There were a number of legacy advertisement spaces throughout the website that were no longer functioning, and attempting to load blank ads.
This may have caused some confusion for users, so I have disabled all of the ad spaces that did not appear to be functioning.
At some point in the future I may re-enable some ads, but for now most legacy advertising has been disabled.
Also, due to the age of the forum backend I am considering migrating the existing forum with all content and user accounts to a new content management system. This won't happen quickly but it's on a long term agenda.
