On Tuesday, May 11th, at 2000UTC, Subnova's upstream provider will conduct extended maintenance on the fiber ring, expected to last about 6 hours. During this time, all Subnova services, including email and the Alteran Stargate Network, will be offline. DNS services for Subnova, which are internally hosted, will also be affected. The only available contact will be through wireless communication, with the IRC channel remaining online but with no news updates. Updates will be posted on Subnova's Twitter account if necessary.
Subnova's email services are being outsourced to Google Apps, and as of tonight, no new mail will be received on the Subnova mail server. Existing accounts will not be automatically migrated, but users can still access old emails and send messages. Due to rising spam issues and outdated server software, moving to Google's service is deemed more economical. Those still using Subnova email need to contact Alpha-Fox to set up new accounts. Apologies for the short notice, as the server load was negatively impacting other Subnova services.
The Alpha-Fox teleporters are now available, offering a much-needed upgrade from the crazyLabs Teleporters. They can be purchased from Apez. Users with a crazyLabs Teleporter can contact for a free update. Enjoy the new teleporters!
A new member has joined the Alteran Stargate Network administration team and will assist with support requests, SSoP requests, and general gate-related issues in-world. Please give him a warm welcome!
The Gate Network and all Alpha-Fox services have moved to Subspace, a new server replacing the overloaded Chimera. Chimera's frequent downtimes and slow website performance were due to its capacity issues. The switch is expected to improve overall network performance, and monitoring will continue.
