New Forums Server

Just replace chinese-forums.com with 64.57.208.244

ok. thanks.

Ah, forgot about those links, sorry, Skylee. I'd switch them round, but I'm constantly in a state of 'will be fixed soon'

Finally seeing the new details propagate, so things should get back to normal over the next 24 to 72 hours. If you're here on the IP address, try the domain now and then to see if it works.

Now that's done, let me also welcome Chrix to the moderation team - having distinguished himself with sterling work in getting the Classical Chinese forum kick-started and sending in lots of post reports on things needing done, he's earned it. If only so he can do those things himself now - you may well have already noticed a few post moves and mergers. Be nice to him, folks

Congrats Chrix! He's a great guy, you know - you guys should feel privileged to have him on board.

I suspect we'll have a brief period where email functions - new reply notifications mainly - may not work. The reason I'm not going to be around to fix it if this does happen in the next few hours is that I'm going out for a BEER!

Good weekends, folks.

Domain name isn't working for me yet. But anyway, I come to say congrats!

Domain name's updated for me now in Shanghai.

Domain name working for me now at the West Coast.

And, weirdly enough, now that the new domain is working for me, the font size went back to how it was before the change.

Anyone else had this issue, or is roddy playing with my mind?

Congratulations and thanks!

And thanks Chrix for moderating!

Working properly on this cafe wireless connection here, although it wasn't 30 minutes ago on 3G. Getting there anyway, certainly should be all done by the start of next week, bar perhaps a couple of particularly laggard ISPs here and there.

I'll wager you somehow had the a font setting stored for the domain on your browser. I'd certainly never play mind games with you.

How many moderators and administrators do we have here anyway? And is each one assigned to any one particular section or task here? And all of them male? That's not equal representation.

Why does it matter? Who says this is gonna be democracy (or whatever it is)? And which female is/are willing to do the work?

Google DNS has also updated its records now, thanks for the hard work roddy!

Why does it matter?

因为女人是半边天。

But how about the other two questions - Who says this is gonna be democracy (or whatever it is)? And which female is/are willing to do the work?

So what is it then? Anarchy? Oligarchy? I don't know anything about political science. As for me, I'm very busy tending to my very own little 中文 corner of this world.

Until you get a female moderator, I think "Patriarchy" is the word you are looking for

Beijing Mobile seem to have updated, still waiting on China Telecom for my 3G modem - which irritatingly doesn't seem to pay attention when you tell it what DNS to use - in fact it seems to actively reset them.

Seems like about 2/3rd of people are finding their way to the new server, the rest are still getting sent to the old one.
