We're just minutes away from The Bass Resource Black Out of 2025.

I'm already starting to get the shakes and my left eye is twitching.

I think I feel a bender coming on too.

No not that kind . . . .

Is this gonna be like Y2K?

Ha, @A-Jay!

 

@Glenn, can you please set up a Zoom call with everyone at Bass Resource and sing us a lullaby, one after another after another..., to get us through the outage?

Starting to look like the Mayans were wrong again.

8pm is in about 10 mins.

AAaaaand we're back!

 

This was hard on me, e-mail stuff, password stuff.. I’m calling my therapist..😂

fyi - you're not going to see any new features, but it will be faster.  This was a move to a new server with an entirely different underlying OS system.

 

While I tested as much as possible, there's a chance you may encounter errors.  Please let me know if you do.

 

Thanks!

Glenn

Will do Sir.

Thank you.

I was just thinking.. I wonder what’s different. 
 

appreciate it. 

I forgot today was the day. I woke up this morning and my wife immediately called an ambulance on my behalf…

Those 12 hours were way harder on me than I anticipated 

I checked in like,,,,,,,,eight times ! Glad that’s over 😬

 

 

Thank you

Glad everything went smoothly. Thanks Glenn! 

Whew that was close…. I was getting ready for a panic attack. Glad we’re all back together again.

I was starting to get the shakes. 

Well I gotta say that was the SMOOTHEST transition to a new server I've ever had with this site. Not only was it moved to a new, more powerful server, but also to a new OS system.

 

Some of you have been around long enough to remember other migrations when the site was down for days, then intermittent for weeks.

 

This time, I did it differently, starting the process in September by configuring the new server and developing a plan with checklists.  Then, we ran through 3 different mock runs with the new server, each time fixing the issues from the previous one before giving the green light on the fourth and final live migration.

 

I'm greatly over-simplifying 5 months of work, but I'm delighted with the outcome!

 

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to our sponsors for without them, this couldn't have happened and the site would have been shut down (yes, that's true).  So don't get so annoyed at those ads, guys; they're literally keeping your site around to enjoy!

Excellent job! Been here for nearly 15 years (holy smokes time flies!!!) and it was a pleasant surprise how quickly things were back up and running smoothly.
