EXE is moving web hosts! 25th Jan 10PM


Dear all,

As you may have noticed, the hosting for our forum and site have been unusually unstable in the past few weeks. This has been due to server issues from the host based in the US, which has been resolved each time with small delays. However, Silas (Flameboy) has generously donated some new hosting facilities for our forum which we will be looking to switchover to on 25th January 10PM AEDT. The new facilities will hopefully provide a more responsive and reliable forum for us to use.

We expect the switchover to take around 2-3 hours to complete, and there may be delays while the DNS changes propogate, which may take a few additional hours. During this time, the website/forum will be unavailable, however it should be back the next morning if all goes to plan.

Thank you for your patience so far, please do continue to be active on our forum and friendly community in the meantime, as per normal. We very much value your participation and we look forward to the smooth switchover to the new host on the 25th January. *No posts, information or otherwise will be lost in this switchover if all goes to plan.*

If you have any questions, please post them in this thread.

Kind regards,
EXE Crew Management
