There may be a short interruption in service this Thursday (27th May 2010). I'll add to this thread when I know the exact time.
We need to change the IP address of our server. This is not our choice, it has been imposed on us by Uni-C who are retiring the "130.228" series of addresses. As a result, we need to change our DNS servers to resolve the clubarnage.com domain to the new IP address (95.128.24.74). The process of DNS broadcast can take anything from minutes to hours, so you may not be able to connect for a while.

It's worth noting the new IP Address 95.128.24.74 if you are suffering from the delay in the new address propagating though the DNS servers you can add it to your hosts file and work around the problem that way. If there is call for it I'll post the instructions for doing that.

Thanks for the warning GF.
If we have problems we can ask Tom about it on Friday.
I hope it all goes smoothly. :-)
In fairness the change required on the Server is minor it''s just the time it takes for the DNS to catch up.

We had a customer one that took 3 days once! But that was a few years ago, seems to be only a few hours these days, we did a load of our websites not long ago, but then we could still run the sites on backup servers on the old IP addresses in the mean time, thank god! But it was the following day before the last dribs and drabs dropped off.
UPDATE
The change will happen at 12:00 noon UK time. After that, it will take a while for the DNS to propagate, but you still should be able to reach CA in the interim just using http://95.128.24.74 as CA is the default site on the server. There might be ten minutes or so of re-boot, and the time may not be exactly on the second, so don't panic if nothing works for a short while.

Hi,
Just a small word of caution on this. When you click a link it try to take you to http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/WHATEVER and that will still fail.
However the wiki side of the site will still work so I'll add some info there on the status of the server.
