OK, Scorcho--out with it. What's the deal? What are the improvements?

More specifically, what on earth are we supposed to do without FF? Spend time with our families? Ugh..

Firehouse baby. I don't care if you don't like the color scheme, that's where the party'll be at.

We're moving the site to a new and better server. Hopefully this planned downtime will mean less unexpected downtime in 2007, like we dealt with in 2006.

We'll also be relocating the board on the site when it moves over, in order to prepare for this site being more than just a message board someday. Be ready to change your favorites/bookmarks.

are we getting year end dividends?

and I better not log in on the 28th to see the background is pink or HPU purple. :shock:

There will be no visible changes, outside of the location change that I mentioned. At least, not as part of this upgrade.

The ultimate goal of this move is to assure that we no longer have the type of outages we endured with our previous host. The November outage was beyond unacceptible.

Yea, because another day and CNN would've ran this headline:

"Mass suicide, different cities, same website"
