URGENT NOTICE: DNS changes

We are doing some network reconfigurations which may cause some temporary website outages. If you can't see this message, then you're already in the dark - but the goal of this is to get the word out ahead of time, and to those who can still see this message, so they can tell the people who are having a hard time getting onto the website.

View Details:
Spoiler: show
At worst, we estimate TsuGaming.com to be "down" (hard to reach) for as long as 24 hours. But not for most people.

Most people will experience the "ideal" switch, which should only knock you off the website for 1-2 hours max. Irc, teamspeak, etc. should NOT be affected.

If we can do some advanced routing tricks that I think we may be able to pull off, there is a chance that no one will notice any changes whatsoever. It all depends on which IPs we're given by our upstream provider, their flexibility in routing, and our servers flexibility in configuration.
Anyway ... just a heads up. Better this confusing post than nothing at all. ;)

THIS WILL BEGIN WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR (starting around 4pm EST / 9pm GMT)


UPDATE:

If you cannot see the website or get this error message:
the website you are attempting to view has resently undergone an ip change or is not configured to serve webpages.
Please Wait 24 hours for the new ip address to propagate or contact your web host support department for more information.
,

open a command prompt on your PC (Start > Run > cmd) and type:

Code: Select all

ipconfig /flushdns
And hit ENTER.

This will manually flush your DNS cache and force an update. For many people, this will instantly fix the problem and you'll be able to view the website again. You may have to do a manual page Refresh in your browser as well.

That gives
the website you are attempting to view has resently undergone an ip change or is not configured to serve webpages.
Please Wait 24 hours for the new ip address to propagate or contact your web host support department for more information.
And yet the /forums/ folder works fine....

Strange.

Well from what I've heard, quite a few people were affected - but it was a short outage. It was just one of those things you had to bite your lip and get over with.
