[IN PROGRESS] Subscribe-O-Matic downtime on Sep. 19th
Sep 13th, 2007 by MSo Lambert
Since there is a scheduled downtime for Second Life on September 19th, we will use this downtime to also move the Subscribe-O-Matic to our new host (more information about this was posted in the previous announcement).
The service will go offline at the same time as Second Life (currently planned for 6AM PST or 13:00 GMT for those in Europe) and will be back online as soon as the DNS changes propagate around the net. This might take everywhere to a few hours to around 24 hours, but from experience, it rarely takes more than 12 hours.
If Second Life downtime will be canceled or rescheduled, we will also reschedule the Subscribe-O-Matic server move accordingly.
[UPDATE: 10:46 AM PST on 09/19/07]
The server move is completed, but it will take a bit more for the the DNS records to propagate around the globe. The website might already be online for some of you though.
[UPDATE: 04:03 PM PST on 09/19/07]
Some of the kiosks around Second Life have already started to come back online, which means the DNS changes are already reaching the Second Life grid. I’m expecting the rest of the kiosks will able to connect to the new server in the next 2-4 hours.
[UPDATE: 01:21 AM PST on 09/20/07]
While the website should already be reachable for most of you, the DNS changes still haven’t reached all Second Life servers yet, so quite a few of your kiosks are still offline. They should be coming back online through out the night and most of them should be operational before noon.
