Post subject:  Possible down times within the next few days

Retriever II switched to a new server some time ago, which means all of MFGG, including main site, forums, wiki, etc. will have to be moved there before the old server expires.
This process will take some time, depending on how smooth the transition goes and so it could be that you find MFGG acting up or even down in the coming days.

In the worst case, there will be a minor case of data loss of activity happening during this transition. To prevent this, the forums, main site and wiki are probably going to be shut down for a while.

Other than that, the server change does not affect you at all. The domain names and software will remain the same.
See you on the other side.

So it has been done. If you notice any problems, please report them.

I don't know if this counts, but I posted like two comments on a different computer and when I got back on my normal computer they weren't there.

Also, the archive forums seems to be down.

The new url of the archived forums is archive.mfgg.net.
The comments on the mainsite might have been lost in the transition as they were made after the backup of the database, sorry.

When going to the wiki:

"Internal error

Redirect loop detected!

This means the wiki got confused about what page was requested; this sometimes happens when moving a wiki to a new server or changing the server configuration.

Your web server was detected as possibly not supporting URL path components (PATH_INFO) correctly; check your LocalSettings.php for a customized $wgArticlePath setting and/or toggle $wgUsePathInfo to true."

^That's weird because I think I set this variable already and it worked for a while.
