Yorak Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Can somebody please verify the approximate time Neowin will go down, and roughly how long it will be down? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Arrow Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The forum however is a bit different. We have around 10 Million posts to convert from 2.x.x to be able to work with IPB 3.x. A test has already taken place and I can say that it takes just under 2 days to convert! Dave isn't on now but I'm planning on asking him if we can append the rest of the post data on Friday rather than having to run it completely again. Yorak, Audioboxer. Does this answer your questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted January 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2010 Can somebody please verify the approximate time Neowin will go down, and roughly how long it will be down?Thanks. 12PM GMT. Approximately 12 hours but that's a guess, it could be longer it could be shorter. It really depends on the work rate of our servers upgrading the millions of posts.

Corris Veteran Posted January 14, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2010 As tom posted, it will be starting around 12pm GMT, so another 12 hours from now. And if it does only take 12 hours to upgrade everything, it should be done this time tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
