Update (Nov 5, 2113h MST): I think we're moved to the new box. Over the next few hours DNS should propagate, and everybody should start seeing the new board. Just in case, I've left the old board in a disabled state so nobody can post to it.
I'm starting the process of moving the board, as I don't know how long we're paid up through at our current host. Don always dealt with all the billing, etc. I have a current backup as of an hour or two ago that I've got loaded up and running in its new home, so the very vast majority of our old posts and pictures are safe.
Unfortunately I'm in Green Bay at the moment, and NGDF weirdness isn't exactly what I want to deal with while driving home. So... I'm going to keep letting it run in its current home until I get back on Sunday night. At that point, I'll put the board in maintenance mode, take one last backup, move everything over, make a few adjustments, and start it up in its new home. Depending on how long DNS changes take to propagate at that point, it may look to some of you like we're down for up to six hours or so. I hope to have everything running happily before I go to bed on Sunday, but if there are issues the board may stay read-only for a bit longer until I get some of the kinks ironed out.
