GP Server Switch on Monday

It looks like GP finally will move to our new format and new server tomorrow. If you'd like, you can check out the beta of the new look.

So, we will definitely have some amount of downtime, depending upon how smoothly the transition goes.

Forums will also go down at the time of the switch. I expect them to be back up later in the week.

Finally, LJ comments are disabled during the transition.

Keep your fingers crossed...

Does the LJ commments section disappear tomorrow as well?

the old LJ will remain as an archive.

The new site has its own comments feature

This also means no more comment validation, but we still keep the Evil One out, right?

Tell me about it. The only reason I signed up for LJ was to post on GP and the VG Cats feed, which has also been down for a while.

Will there be any way to have a feed through LJ still? Like an RSS thing?

there will be an RSS feed, but not thru LJ... You'll need to d/l an RSS client. I like Feed Demon a lot, but there are many others.

Actually, LJ can syndicate RSS feeds, so we'll still be able to keep GP on our friends list, just in a different way.

We'll still be around!

Yeah, we'll need a paid user to do it so the rest of us can see it though.

If I can just request one thing? Would it be possible to put in the date headers for each group of articles?

I don't think the Wordpress themewe'll be using does that, although I can check

Should start an RSS feed and LJ it.

Also, my fingers are crossed but server transitions never go smoothly, so I'm more hoping that there's enough caffeine and Snickers bars available rather than hoping you don't have any DNS problems.
