z2 Move to WestHost In Progress
If you're reading this thread, YOU'RE ON WESTHOST!. Nameserver change has been made and is in the process of being distributed. Please, PLEASE tell Insidious if you notice any issues with z2 once its on westhost, its entirely likely, due to the nature of DNS, you might catch them before he does! Initially, the SQL database (and thus the forums) will be a week old after the westhost transfer is complete. I have the newer database and will update with this once the transfer is complete, but want to hold off because the fora being a week old is a good indicator, at least for me, that the transfer was successful! I'm aware this topic is rambly and tech-word-filled, so I'll sum it up for you:
tl;dr: Hold onto your horses, we're in for a bumpy ride.

I don't have an avatar. I have a feeling this has to do with me changing it in the last few days. Also zultimate is down.
edit: I seem to be only able to navigate here from the dmzx post :P
wait that seems to be more about my patchy internet connection and cache I think.
edit:no wait it happened again, that makes no sense :(

ZUltimate is back up (permissions issue).
Also I believe you lost your avatar because you changed it a day or two before the migration: the database is up to date, but for the files on the server there's a small gap where the newest files didn't get transferred. It's livable; I don't think there was anything terribly important. I reuploaded clon3.zzt but that's about it.

this is a good place to point out that ircman is moving to gbelo.org, after like a year of forgotten intentions. the old site will remain up for the time being but who knows for how long.
here is new link. update bookmarks. http://gbelo.org/ircman/?

I'm actually surprised at how short the meta-tag data section is in the header:
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
I sometimes actually forget the url for this site (on machines its not bookmarked) so I often find myself using search engines to find it using keywords which is near impossible with the poor results.
Adding these might help:
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
Also separating keywords with commas helps a lot with the spidering process from google to generate search results. (zzt, zig, z2, gcs, etc).

It might also help if our robots.txt file didn't look like this:
