Sorry about the revert, I thought v1.3 would be able to retrieve it, but it wasn't compatible with v1.2

The server now syncs every hour, so any major reverts can now be avoided.
By the looks of things, we have been given "90%" chance of being migrated on Monday, we will switch to a temp map for the switch on Sunday Evening.

To use, simply place a signpost on the floor directly beside a chest or other container to be locked. Enter [Private] as the first line. Your own name will automatically be entered on line 2 as the chest owner. Optionally type in the full names of two other users allowed to access the chest's inventory on lines 3 and 4. Additionally, you can enter [Everyone] on lines 3 or 4 instead of a user name, to allow everyone access to the contents of a private container."

In TL;DR terms, basicly, migration will happen thursday, no wait, friday, oh sorry, will happen Monday, apologies, first thing tuesday, apologies again, later on the week. Thats from the manager who originally offered the migration, constant delays, in which we were ready for migration straight away, they failed to give.
Why were we after a migration? If you are a regular at CF | UK you would of observed that there has been alot of time outs, as well as crashes and more. The datacentre acknowledged this and took fault, and offered if we wanted a move off the network to a new one, we could. As well as a whole new box and more.
A generous offer as compensation for the downtime which would more or less elminate the issues, however did it happen? No, not quite.
1.1GB is far too large a file for me to back-up to my personal computers, so I decided to transfer it over to the other server we had. (Which was being used as the Classic server) Making it a nice off-site location which should of been safe.
Now, when the migration was originally issued, they accepted one of them, which I believed [and specifically stated] would be re-located in a datacentre in the U.K.
Not only did they take the wrong server, but they transferred it over the U.S.A. admitting it was a mistake, however we now have a server over there which we can't transfer back.
Once that was built up, a day or two ago.
It failed, great.
So that was the location of where the off-site location of the back-up was stored, and it had failed. Result was apparently a new OS install without back-up of the original content, and that lost our off-site back-up.
In sync with the other servers [strong evidence that bad things come in 3s?] the webserver played up too, it seemed the host was having a global problem and won't be able to fix it for a while. So we migrated off there, to our own little VPS hosting our webserver. [Apache, MySQL and PHP running with less than 256MB? Yes!] Which means since we're now unrestricted, expect more website functions. Speaking of which, we've already added something, can you guess?
Anyway, due to the loss of the newly US server data, we had to re-backup from the UK, which was most likely from a newer save, and was quite likely the end of result of ending up with a corrupted map. This had to be done quickly, as it was announced the migration would happened within the next couple of hours [which it didn't]
So in the end, we had a backup, the same box, that during got re-installed with the OS before the 'migration', so we only had the quickly made backup after the failure from the US server, which of course, was corrupted.
The whole end result was a disaster, and the loss of the CF | UK home map in its intact form.
I submitted a request for an exact time and date for an migration, and as of this news post.
No response so far.
On the resolutions, the main server now has a new map, the TNT server has a modified CF | UK script and you know have the oppurtunity to blow up the old corrupted map.
Cartograph will be coming soon, for both servers hopefully, and we'll be smooth sailing soon.
