Good morning everyone,

As you might have noticed our hosting company dropped the ball again. The entire server crashed and Apulo had to restart everything.

As such, we will be moving host to a cheaper and better one on Monday. The forum will be put into maintenance mode, and Jabber and Teamspeak will be turned off. This is to prevent any posts being lost between the time we move the forum files over, and then attach the domain to the new server.

This downtime means the tournament will start once we move to the new server.

You will all be PM'd and emailed this in a mass mail, and I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Crucias & Apulo

so whats this mean for the cash we have all Donated then? will there be more of it left over?
maybe a few more prizes to add to the mix? or with this switch is it the exact opposite for the initial installment?

Sadly servers are charged annually, so the money sunk in the old server is lost to us. The new server was paid for by leaders who rose to the urgent call for aid.

The plus side of this, is that any future money is 100% prizes. Including the $200 from Adverts coming in sometime near August/September.

Summary: We had to raise funds in emergency to pay for this, but in the long run it'll work out cheaper meaning more prize money.

I want to thank Spiny and Mongo who made this emergency transition possible

Pay pal ALWAYS says no - took me 3 times to get it across :)

Thanks to everyone who donated - you made the burden lighter. Mongo - you're a star!

Dern : Thank you also, your organisation is second to none mate. It's like the Imperial revenue :)

Kokokacho - many thanks - knew you were there but this thing needed to move fast.

Thanks to all.

Just a reminder that this is coming soon, the actual time the website is taken down depends on when Apulo is ready to do the transfer. Should only take 6-8 hours start to finish
