Unsuccessful Migration - We'll try again next weekend

[Ian]

Unfortunately I lost it 75% through the migration, likely because of the higher traffic on the server for a weekday causing a higher load which caused an issue with the process running. Needless to say I'll wait until next weekend and give it another shot then. It was running much slower than the first time I did it, which was a successful attempt and went off without a hitch. Although I used a different method, which I'll try again next weekend instead to hopefully ensure it works out.

Sorry everybody.

No apology needed, I am sure it will be great when it is completed in the meantime personally, I think the board is great the way it is.

I'm a computer programmer by trade and hobby. If you need any help just ping me. Depending on the message board you're migrating to, I likely know some of the core maintainers/contributors. I would be happy to help any way that I can.

Sorry everybody? Sorry for you, Ian, that you probably just spent a very frustrating weekend on this!

 

[JoeSixPat]

It happens. Hey at least we didn't lose everything else in the process!

 

[patsfan13]

Sorry you burned so much time and couldn't complete the task.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Well, if it's any upside, you still had a better weekend than the JEST.

 

[doesntmatter1]

Oh god. I guess I am going to have to rock myself to sleep like a crazy person AGAIN during the downtime. lol.

 

[Rob0729]

Damn you Ian! I was so juiced up about arguing about the Pat Chung signing all weekend and you ruined it for me. There are so many angles about this story that hasn't been approached yet.

In all seriousness, don't worry about it. It is a dead point in the offseason anyway. It just sucks that you wasted a big part of your weekend working on this.

 

[BlueThunder]

Don't worry about it Ian. Even tho my old handle was Joker I am perfectly happy with this new one .

 

[nabwong]

TRADE IAN thread?

Just kidding!

 

[shmessy]

Don't worry about it Ian. Even tho my old handle was Joker I am perfectly happy with this new one .

You too?

My old handle was NEM!

 

[thenepatsrule]

The JETS will suck next weekend too...........

 

[ctpatsfan77]

You too?

My old handle was NEM!

That explains a lot, actually. :bolt:

 

[Ian]

Yeah...I see via the log where it froze. Already got it worked out so hopefully we'll get it done on the next attempt. I also cleared out all the broken threads from back in '04 through '05, so that dropped off a lot of dead weight. Unfortunately though, it's going to affect the post counts a bit so some of you will notice a difference there.

Just want to get it done so you guys can start using it

 

[FoxWhiskey]

No need for apologies Ian!! **** happens.

I enjoy your(our) board and your services and i´m very thankful.

Sorry???
You just saw hours upon hours go down the drain. Sorry for your frustration--or as my father used to say "frostration" which I thought was a great improvement on a word that didn't quite say what we needed it to say.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Well if Shmessy loses all his NEM post counts, he could be under 10,000

LOL.

no worries, we can wait, ... just builds up the expectation-level. Just hope you dont lose another whole weekend on the re-do.

Ian-

The build up advertising great things to come, followed by anticipation and then this?

You are either conducting a psychological study akin to Pavlov's dog on classical conditioning using your loyal PatsFans minions as test subjects or offering a metaphor for some of the Patriots' past draft approaches trading out of the first round. I remain perplexed as to your actual motives in conducting this operation.
