This Tuesday (March 29, 2011), Victory Road, Floatzel.Net, and the Pokékaki may experience downtime. We will be recreating the virtual machine for the VR server from scratch to fix many of the problems that have propogated from constantly changing interfaces and configuration for MySQL, Apache, and other server software. The new VM will not be posted live until the evening of Tuesday, so, theoretically, the aforementioned sites should be offline for very little time.

VRIM, VictoryBattles, Victorydex, Buizel.Net, and hosted sites should not be affected.

This should resolve much of the downtime, network latency, boot sequence, and possibly VRIM crashes.

Will this make the connection to the forums better?

I hope it works well. Yesterday, the server was down, and it was really annoying. Good luck in fixing it.

I'm really glad to hear that. Although I did not come across such issues recently, any effort to minimize them is appreciated for the future.

Yeah, that happened to me, too. I hope this fixes most issues with the server well.

That's nice to know the head of time so I don't have to wonder why the site is down.

The timeframe will be about 2:00 PM PDT as the start of the work. No clue when things will be changed over.

I hope this fixes some of the random situations when hosted sites go down.

We didn't actually do much of anything except delete a few files. We're still on the same VM.

However, we did clear out over 100 GB of data from the root server by deleting some virtual hard drives for VMs that were no longer in use.
