• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

We are moving!

Our hosting company was purchased by Rackspace last year. They are closing the data center that houses our server and moving the servers to another location 15 miles way.

The move date is September 22, 2018 0:00 to 08:00 Central Time.

There will be significant downtime on both servers at the same time.

Dear Customer, In the near future we will be migrating the devices you have hosted with Datapipe (Dallas, DataBank) to our existing Rackspace data center in (Richardson Tx). We understand these changes can be challenging and we are committed to doing everything we can to work with you to prevent any significant disruption to your business. We appreciate your patience as we consolidate remaining Datapipe systems and infrastructure.

These datacenter consolidation efforts will maximize cooling and power efficiency while reducing operational costs. We have attached a FAQ to help our customers better understand the purpose, impact, and scope.

Our migration services team has tentatively scheduled a date and time to relocate your solution (devices listed below). 
IP Address
72.233.76.234
72.233.79.242

We expect your solution to be unavailable for approximately 8 hours to complete the migration, between the hours of 00:01 and 08:00 Central Time on [22-September-2018].

Datapipe has extensive experience migrating highly complex, mission-critical solutions. As your partner, it is our goal to ensure this upgrade will have little impact to your business.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this maintenance, please reply directly to this ticket.

Hope all goes well and you do not have to go into the yonder on a thread over "Kakastan".

Worthless and Shadow Wolf 07,

Yes, and it appears (knock on wood) that it was a smooth transition. :wavey:
