Forums: Server Down time and data migration: please read!

Rockers:

We will be taking down the Rock Band servers soon in order to prep for the awesome community re-launch next week. This will probably happen in a few days, but we'll get you the exact time as soon as we know. If you bookmark the forum index it will link you to a placeholder, so if you get that in a few days this is why!

The message boards will be migrated, however, your individual profile info, avatars, pictures, and blogs will not! If there is anything there you wish to keep, I recommend backing it up as soon as possible. Hang tight for now! The new community stuff looks really great, and I’m looking forward to all of you getting a chance to see it next week! When you log in to the new site you’ll still have your username and password and a placeholder profile to accessorize as needed.

In the meantime, check out Phase @ phasegame.com, clean your bathroom, check out the new Rock Band store, paint a wagon, or whatever else you can or want to do to prepare for endless rocking next week!

our individual profile info, avatars, pictures, and blogs will not be transfered?!

I guess I'll go about backing up my profile at this point, so I can at least save myself the time in re-writing it all.

Nothing else will be lost will they? Usernames, everyones posts?


I'm excited to see how the new forums turn out, if they are as good as the main site, I wont be disappointed!

so when is this downtime going to be taking place? Over the weekend? I can't wait to see what sort of new community stuff we're gonna have. Will band pages and stuff be available on tuesday or is that further down the road?

In the meantime, paint a wagon

I'm gonna use oil-based paint, 'cause the wood is pine.

It will probably take place right after the weekend. We're still working out the exact time (we want to make it as seamless as possible), so we'll let you know probably in the next day or so.

Does this come with cookies and milk?

Thats probably the best time to do it, most people will be starting to go on thanksgiving break and everyone will just be getting Rock Band, no one is going to want to be online, they'll all want to be rocking out! Man 5 more days, time is moving too slow! I can't wait to see how the forums and the community turns out
