I've most of Japan Legends files backed up. So here's the important bit.

 

Tonight I'll be backing up the database, if I can get it all done tonight (which depends on the time I get home from work and shite Dublin traffic!) then I start off the transfer process. 

 

What this means for you guys is the following:

1) Any posts after the backup is taken or messages sent might disappear when the site goes down.

2) Japan Legend will experience down time once the domain transfer is started this will be either one of the following:

2a) 1 to 2 days. The Automated system works and there is a smooth transfer.

2b) Hostgator don't make it easy. We've to wait for the site to expire and so on. In other works a week.

 

 

IF it's 2b the forum will be setup temporally on TheGuyver.Net (yes it is alive again and in time the Guyver section of the Japan Legend Wiki will take it over). I'll most likely be doing this anyway to test out the forum before Japan Legend is turned off. 

 

Note if you want a trip down memory lane http://theguyver.net/oldguyvernet/is already moved to its new home. If there ares issues with the Domain transfer, I'll be updating the front page of http://theguyver.net/ to explain what is happening.

If you're reading this and able to reply you're now on the new home / old / temporary home of the Japan Legend forum.

 

Note this is hosted on the same server that will host Japan Legend com so it's a lot easier to move the next time (it's just re pointing a few things). This will happen a few days after the domain transfer is complete.

 

For the time being I've changed the board to use the default template boring template. This is because the Japan Legend template has some things hard coded into it that just don't look right while the board is hosted on theguyver.net. This will be switched back in a week or so time.

Ok things are finally clear on what is happening. The domain transfer is finally going ahead between my service provider and the old one for Japan Legend. they won't release the domain until 5 days from today so being realistic it'll be this time next week before everything is in other and Japan Legend's domain is moved.

 

What that means is Japan Legend will become a blank slate and there will be nothing there for a few days.

 

Over next weekend I'll then fix things up so that they are working and the board will be moved from TheGuyver.NET back to Japan Legend. Thankfully with very little down time overall. 

 

Starting from tomorrow you'll be able to track what is happening from: http://warriorguyver.com/creditsfaq/update_full.htm. Any work done that is completed for Japan Legend and TheGuyver.Net will be in future put there.

As you can see the Forum is now back up and running. But it's the only section of Japan Legend up and running at the moment. The Wiki and all it's data needs a lot of work to figure out what broke it and then get it back up and running too.
