You may have noticed, that when you tried to visit fleetops.net today you only encountered a blank page. But not to worry, we just transferred the site to a bigger server to accomandate the increased visitor numbers (thank you ) since the last server move in 2007. The whole process took longer than we initially expected, but now everything seems to be running smooth again.

Well that explains it!
Great news about the transfer! Meaning a lot more activity on the forums and in game.
Fabulous.

Sooo there isnt any truth to the idea that server downtime = new patch

nice to hear fleetops.net has improved thanks for letting us know.

nope, but it does mean more space in the server, so we wont fill it up with spam attachments any more

Yeah...got my hopes up a bit, but then again, I had also herd that a server change might happen soon.

Glad it all worked out!

46 pages of PMs in my inbox, 36 pages of saved PMs in my outbox.  No wonder you had to get a bigger server.

I'll start deleting some.

We could do a 'post attachments until the admins get mad' thread.

I thought we already had that: Awesome Screenies! Official Screenshot thread!

The only difference is that one is authorized.
