I have always wanted to learn how to do chainmail since I was a kid so I finally got around to buying the stuff to do it so here's some of my 1st projects i'm doing.
In the process of making myself a belt (It's about 18 inches so far I still need to add about 22 inches)
A scalemail flower keychain I made my wife (1st attempt so it is not perfect I used a few more rings then I was supposed to)
It’s time for yet another staff change! with the upcoming host migration we thought it’d be a good idea to promote a few members to staff. These new staff members will help make this migration a lot smoother. Please welcome your new staff:
Wave - Event Advisor Rootbeer Koolaid - Event Advisor Shadow - General Server Engineer Blubblub - Bunny Hop Engineer Waffles - Minigames/Event Advisor
Along with these new additions to staff, we’d also like to say goodbye to Tristan and Tortoise, we’d like to thank them for everything they did to make sG a better place.
We’d also like to take this time to announce that DogsGoMeow will be moving away from Minecraft and will now be the Complaint Department/Moderation Advisor (read: Infractions Advisor).
We hope everyone welcomes the new staff members to the team. - Mimic, Chairman of the JCS
Community, let me apologize for the lack of correspondence in what's been going on and catch you up. As you know, we began moving some services over to the new host. Teamspeak has been running on the new host for about 2 days now. You may have also noticed that the website seems much snappier and shouts are instant. this is because we also moved the web server. We lost about 45 minutes of data at 9pm central last night but i think the performance gain was worth it.
With that there is some not-so-good news. We took the servers down for maintenance to sync the database to the new server, NO INFORMATION HAS BEEN LOST, but the passwords are causing issues. Ctark and I worked for about 12 hours on everything last night and we both had to bail for sleep before work. Klark and jason are aware of the current status and will also be assisting. Once we correct the permissions your levels and such will work again.
Currently all servers are running on the new box except ttt while i copy over maps. zach pointed out that maps were stored in a different location and they are now being synced. csgo persistent favorites should have updated for those so you may not have even noticed. css and gmod do NOT have persistent favorites at this time so they are a manual update. Tonight we will move css servers back over to limestone until persistent favorites are fixed.
Let me reiterate that we have NOT reset levels or any other items.
I will try to continue providing relevant updates as they come. we do apologize for the issues, but part of our goal in this host change is to clean up items that haven't been used for years. we did this with the website and you can definitely see a speed increase in the responsiveness. We want this same quality for all the game servers and I'm sure you can all agree it's worth it. While we try to do things late at night when the population is low, we have jobs/lives too and must sleep. We hope to avoid cutting into play time in the future but until the transition is 100% it may occur. We expect to be fully on the new host within 1 week at which time things should stabilize.
Approximately 2 weeks after that we will have another outage while the host upgrades our CPU in the new box to the newest best performing single threaded processor existing. they will also double our bandwidth, our hard drive space, our ssd space, and our memory. this outage can be up to 24 hours, but very clearly worth it.
