I am not sure what was the cause of the problem but I was finally able to power down / boot up the VPS again.

Sorry! but it coulda been worse :)

Please allow for your DNS to update, or if you have the hosts file edited please unedit / re-edit it w/ our new IP.

This has gone very smooth and I am very satisfied.. :)

You should see a Offline message on the old board, along with some suggestions about how to be able to see us on our new server.

I am not sure whether I actually have to move from one VPS to the other, but if we do that will take just a little time and I will move backups from one VPS to the next.

B/c as of right now the site is up..

Ill keep you updated! :)

EDIT: http://www.theviperfiles.com/Downtime-t97712.html

As quoted from the above link:

Alright here..

I don’t exactly know all of the facts.. But I will tell you as much as I know.

From my understanding, our current VPS provider was bought out by the parent company (b/c they were having problems I believe) and they were then shut off sometime Sunday. I received an email saying something similar.

I have purchased a similar VPS from the new provider (the parent company) and they put us back online (a little after when I purchased it). I am not sure if we will actually keep this IP and VPS or if we will move a little bit to the new IP and VPS.

Also, as some people have already stated, everyone has downtime, its not just us. You can take a look at some of the biggest forums out there.. I believe forumw was down for upwards of 75% of the summer (3 months-ish) w/ maintenance. It just happens. We believe we are one of the best at handling it.. I know I try very hard to minimize and speed up the downtime. .. So to those who support us, thanks :) :) :) :)

That is as much as I know, and I will keep you guys updated.. Till then.. Thanks for sticking with us :)

Also, in case we do go down again or something, please bookmark the blog @ http://tvfblog.com/

We should be back very soon once I purchase and get everything set up.

Sorry for the downtime guys.. Its out of my control and not my fault. :(

It looks like a DB table failed, and I have repaired it and we are all good :)

I wasn’t on to fix it b/c I had another personal commitment i had to attend to, so don’t think that I am just deserting you guys!

Thanks for being patient my fellow TVF’ers :)
