I'm happy to announce we're underway with the migration of the site to a new hosting company. Hopefully this will minimize the outages that are too common with our current provider. As of right now, we've managed to copy most of the files over to the new server. And are spinning up the database copies we have. We'll have a window of time when the site will be down to finalize the move and allow for nameservers to catch up on the IP change. I don't have a exact time on that yet. But likely I'll set the board to maintenance mode at night and allow a final backup of the database and file copy. Then leave the current site like that until we're 100% on the new server. More details to come, but just wanted to give a heads up.

Just an update. We'll be moving hosts tonight at 2am EST. (12/28) So just before then and during, the site will be in maintenance mode until we're moved completely over to the new server.

And we're over to the new server. At least some of us are. The old server is still up and running but we'll just have to wait until the DNS populates correctly. Please report any issues you see here.

I'm starting to fade folks. 4hrs sleep last night and been going for 20hrs. But all has been well for the past few hours. I know not everyone can access the site yet as DNS hasn't updated world-wide. But please let me know if you see any issues on the site.
