Title: Scheduled Maintenance - SFML is Moving
Post by: eXpl0it3r on August 13, 2014, 10:19:05 am
This is an official announcement of our scheduled maintenance later today. The reason for the maintenance is moving the whole SFML website to a new and better host. This will give the SFML Team more options as to who can manage the website and will hopefully solve the rather old problem with the forum search.

Maintenance will start at 20:30 CEST (check here (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SFML+is+Moving&iso=20140813T2030&p1=268) for your timezone conversion).

In order to move everything over, we'll have to set the forum to maintenance mode, so we don't miss any of your posts, then we'll change the DNS entry, pointing the domains to the new server. This process shouldn't take longer than 15min, however DNS propagation world wide can take up to 24h, usually not that long though.

I hope you guys can survive this short downtime and if you have something urgent, there's always the IRC channel (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=2997.0). ;)

The website, including docs, downloads etc. will stay intact during the migration. So you won't miss anything from that.
