Rolling down-time this coming week on all sites
The total down time will depend entirely on the site being transferred at the time. The forums, Skyrim, both Fallout sites and Oblivion are going to take longer than the other sites as they have a lot more content to transfer over. The forums and Skyrim should take 4 hours each while the other sites might take less time. Either way you’ll know when the transfer is happening as the site will be taken offline, with a message to that effect, during the process.
It’s my utmost hope (and no doubt yours too) that, through this transfer to our cluster, the reliability issues with the servers is going to be a thing of the past. For good. If all goes to plan this weekend should be the last weekend of stability issues for the Nexus and we can move on to doing what we actually want to do; making the service better for everyone and expanding our reach to all games so anyone can use the Nexus for modding if they so wish. We’ll also be far more DDoS proof due to the distributed nature of our own server setup that will mean we can shift load between many different servers ensuring any attack will have to split the botnet being used considerably in order to cause any down time.
I’ll hold off on thanking you for your patience during this trying time until we can confirm that this is going to be the solution to all our problems but our initial testing has been very positive, so now it’s time to take the plunge and hope for the best.
Down time starts tomorrow (Monday) morning, starting with the forums.

It's Fallout NV. It's ALWAYS Fallout NV. It's hardly ever anything else BUT Fallout NV. Sometimes it's Fallout 3, but only when I am redoing my mod cache, which is maybe once time a year.
Can't download anything from FONV site, even though I was downloading stuff like crazy last night. And yes I read that post by Robin, but it doesn't address the page loading errors, missing html, or crashed file servers.

Perhaps a bit more looking? All the sites are working like a charm for me today so perhaps more information would also be helpful?
It's been 10 days since the transfer started. We haven't heard jack from anyone on anything besides "We know of the issues" but not really anything else. What gives?
