IP Changed, Need Help to Own Again!

Hi,

I am the owner of "Pony: Elements of Harmony - Squee!" server. My dedicated server's ISP changed the ip address several times during the year. When I added my server to GameTracker the first time, I did not realise my IP would soon be forcibly changed by my ISP. The first time it changed, I noticed my gametracker banner was down on my site, I decided to take a look. My ip had suddenly changed on my host. I could not transfer my stats to the new one since I did not claim that server. I created a fresh server later, since that was a boring experiment server I started out with. Today, I decided to change to a host that would not do this... For a while I've been hosting on a server at home. I never claimed the newest address it changed to, I simply was too late. Please help me add my old server's stats to my new host.

76.166.139.110 was my old ip
173.199.86.69 is my new one

Unfortunately you really do not have stats to migrate since you never claimed it. However if you did, you'd want to use the migrate feature (though that is pointless, because like I said, you did not claim it and thus no player history is saved).

Is there anyway to bring up the server with my old ip to claim it? Or is it a lost cause ;_;

As long as you can turn the old server back on, you can claim it.

However, there is not any point to: Your old server has no stats. It has also not had activity in the past week, meaning it is in the back of the ranking system as rank only looks at the past week.
