MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
So the announcement 'Where not out of the woods yet' indicated that while EN World is back up, the fundamental problems haven't been resolved yet, right? Any update on how that's going?
We went down earlier, along with all of Cyberstreet, then quickly came back up running a lot faster. I have no idea if that was the switchover or something completely different.

I am not entirely certain how much of what was controlled by the different levels of providorship but based on what I am seeing (which is admitedly a limited amount of info) it may be reasonable to say that enworld's ip number would change if the ISP backbone providing service to cyberstreet changes.
Currently, enworld.cyberstreet.com resolves to:
66.216.61.114
If the above is true, then when the switchover does happen, you'll end up with a new IP number. Thus, giving you a little test to see when the switch over to the new provider has taken place.
Of course, if somehow cyberstreet is able to keep all its old ip numbers, then, the ip number, of course, won't change.. and this little test of "when does the switch over happen" won't really equate to anything ;-)
Thanks for the update. You and Morrus, along with all the moderators, are handling this mess with a lot of grace under pressure. (Of course, I still think that Morrus and Adlon may have grounds for legal action.)

I just read Adlon's note at mortality.net, and honestly I couldn't make that much sence of it, other than the problem still needs to be resolved, even though the site is working OK now.
I'll give you what we've been told in a nutshell. The game plan is:
Cyberstreet plans to move its critical servers to the new Upstream Provider on the 5-16 to 5-19 weekend.
Other Cyberstreet servers (that's people like us and mortality.net) move sometime around Tuesday or Wednesday.
There may be some temporary downtime, but there will be some IP resolution changes, is the way we understand it.
This comes from the all-around great guy Adlon, who (just to remind everyone) is in the same boat.

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

Dunno - both times I tried it, this morning and just now, it loaded fine.
The fact that they are loading more frequently than ENWorld is a very encouraging one.

I know the past few weeks have been very frustrating for a number of people, but can we have an update as to where the site is now? Are all the probelms fixed, as far as one can tell? IOW, are we out of the woods yet?
I agree with this last post from "Johnsemlak" as I think it would be a good idea for the ENWorld administrators and other people in the "Know" to let the EnWorld Community know what the problems were and if they are all finally sorted out. Maybe a post on the main "Home page" would be nice....but in any case lets all congratulate the ENWorld admin. and organisors for their efforts in getting the site back on line it must have been a lot of hard work.....Take care all !!!!

A fine idea! Check out the new announcement at the top of every forum.

You bet! There was some wackiness late last night, so I'm going to wait until mid-week, if that's okay with you. You might want to move the forums down Nutkinland's forum order if they're in the way.
Squirrel, we're in your debt. Thank you again.
