I tried accessing it and, since it asked me for username and password, I guess it's not blocked by my company's firewall. So, yay!!!!

The URL will change, so don't count on anything yet.

Actually if he tried Dicefellowship.org and got the log in page, it should work for him. Right now that's the domain we will be using. Its positive results.

The Next Step

Post by Vardaen » Mon Apr 20, 2015 9:44 pm

So it looks like things are moving forward.

Tentatively this is the schedule of events moving forward.

Friday the 24th the forums will get locked. I'm guessing later in the day (EST). At this point all posting here will come to a stop.

Brennor will get all the DB and code set so that Shurijo can begin the porting over process. This will take most if not all of the weekend. Hope is that by Sunday night, or Monday morning, we will have the new site up and functional.

Bren will put a redirect on this URL at some point during all of this to point to the new place.

I highly recommend watching the Facebook Group for updates and information as we move forward. If things go smoothly we should be back up on the 27th at the new place ready for posting. If things don't go smoothly , well, then it might take bit longer.

Once we are up and running on the new site there may still be plenty of things to do just to adjust to the new format and that sort of thing, so next week be patient with us as we work out the kinks.

Shurijo and Brennor can give you more information and I hope they will chime in here to do just that.

It was not a login page, it was a dialog box asking for credentials. I cancelled it and got the access denied page.

Yeah, the login/credentials page is just there to keep google/bing search bots away until we move the data. That credentials page will disappear once we migrate the data. If you can see the credentials page, then you shouldn't have problems accessing the new website - unless the software your office uses blacklists the site at a future time which we can't prevent.

Today is the day folks. At some point later on today (presumably after work hours) the site should get locked, or at the least the DB will get saved and Shurijo will begin the Import.

Watch the Face Book page for updates as things progress. Come Monday morning you'll want to try dicefellowship.org!
