SpursTalk Scheduled Downtime

[Kori Ellis]

We're migrating SpursTalk to new servers in the San Antonio area. The forums will be down for approximately 24 hours beginning tonight at around 9 PM CST. The downtime could be shorter or longer than that, depending on how smoothly things go.

Thanks,

The Management

[Dex]

Thanks Kori. :tu

[Fusternino]

Probably good for my mental health that I won't have to check for replies during that time.

[BatManu20]

See y’all in 30.

[spurraider21]

Rip Slovenian server jokes

[Reck]

Good move.

The old servers have been unrealible and slow af here for the past couple of months.

[ginobilized]

Thanks for keeping this community alive!
Cheers

Good move.

Several people have said that, but others (like me) have had no issues at all (except one night for me). So it's weird. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. Moving servers is usually a hassle in one way or another, especially with a huge database. We haven't done it in many years, so it should be an improvement.

Big Spurs trade happening at 9:15pm tonight.

Hopefully this will fix the malicious site warning once we migrate off third world servers.

[Russ]

Thanks Kori!

[BackHome]

Thanks Kori :toast

Not nice.

And that warning has been gone for me for several months. You still get it?

I still get it on Opera unfortunately.

Get off your third-world browser. :)

[Chris]

Get off your third-world browser. :)

:lol

"not secure" on the URL line is how Chrome signals that ST doesn't have a cert, so http traffic in not encrypted.

[TrainOfThought5]

Get off your third-world browser. :)

:lmao

[polandprzem]

I thought downtime was here few years now

I know. We are fixing that.

:lol

[Phenomanul]

Thanks for the heads up. Off-season improvements are always welcomed. :tu

[Marcus Bryant]

If you lose a few posters in the process that's fine by me.

:hat

Careful, those might be your last words.

And these could be mine.

[Chris]

I hope I'm not on the chopping block. The political forum would turn in to a Liberal echo chamber.

[jmard5]

Thanks Kori!

[Phenomanul]

I hope I'm not on the chopping block. The political forum would turn in to a Liberal echo chamber.

I left the Political Forum long ago because several peeps there are insanely uncivil. They can't discuss anything without resorting to ad hominem attacks, derision, bullish behavior, crassness and smug cynicism - it already is a liberal/socialist echo chamber... Most importantly someone there threatened my livelihood - so that pretty much made up my mind. Again, many there are just jerks of the highest order.

Absolutely on point.

Hey Kori, are you guys updating to the lastest vBulletin version? Just curious. Thanks!

[ismael-robert]

Or pink a few

[ElNono]

I know. We are fixing that.

Talking about that. Sometimes, if you go to google.com and search for "Spurstalk.com". Click one of the links, and it'll take you to this link that tries to download a virus:

http://myfilestore.com/download.php?id=fe7e5c59

So you might still have a virus somewhere there in vBulletin, that's looking for google.com as the referrer. Just letting you know.

Apparently, the information you need to get rid of it is here:

I second that. It's usually on the off times I google instead of hitting bookmark.

[phxspurfan]

While youre at at can we restrict people to a single account

Awesome. This place will thrive with all 10 real accounts.

Thanks. timvp will look at it.

We are doing that, but not tonight. Sometime soon though.

[ElNono]

Bring the cinnamon whisky, IMO.

[Kori Ellis]

That will likely never happen. Most trolls mask their IP, so it's impossible.

[ElNono]

EDIT: Also a good way to test this is to use a browser in Incognito mode that doesn't save cookies, go to google.com, search for spurstalk.com and follow the links... the issue happens much more often when cookies are off.

[Bynumite]

Rumor has it the owners are in process of moving the servers and selling the forum, hence the slight delays.

New owner rebranding the forum sonicstalk.com. You've heard it here first :wakeup

I tried to tell people a month but you thought i was trolling. Looks like my multiple sauces are indeed correct :wakeup

Selling the forum as soon as you get out of contention, that's chickenshit :lol

Anyway, see you guise on sonicstalk ;);)
