Hah, you beat me to making this topic.

In the last 10 minutes, 6 pages have been unavailable, the rest incredibly slow.

As you will see from the message on the front page, only phase one of the move is complete. Phase 2, bringing the old servers to the new DC, is just getting under way now. If you check the frontpage and the announcements forum, you will see when it is complete.

To top it off, we're currently on the frontpage of slashdot, which is not great when running on one server instead of the usual four.

Why does this remind me of Dr. House talking about the "panty hamster?"

Also someone submitted this to Fark. Saw it under the Geek Section. Getting a double pounding.

I keep getting a Board Error when I click on the New/Active Posts link at the top of the page.

The error returned was:

Sorry, the administrator has taken the search engine offline for the moment. Please try again later

Yeah, that would be because we've taken the search engine offline....

Sphinx, which we use for search, is on one of the old boxes, which are currently in the back of a car leaving the old DC. I'm afraid we forgot to equip them with wireless cards, so unfortunately, we can't make use of them at the moment.

There's already a thread on the search engine, too.
