We're finally ready to make the final migration to our new server! This will require that I shut the forums down and start moving the vBulletin database early tomorrow morning.
I will also be making the necessary DNS changes to point everyone to the new server IP address. Keep in mind that the DNS change could take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days to replicate to your ISP. You'll know you're reaching the new server when the forums are open again (I'll leave them closed on the old server) and our daily news resumes.
A lot of preliminary work has gone into streamlining the software and configuration files on the new server to ensure that the entire website runs much better after the migration is complete. I'm confident that this will finally put an end to the database errors and we should all see a considerable performance boost when loading each page. Stay tuned for more information.
Server Migration Tomorrow Morning
The migration is now officially complete! All of the data was moved over and become available over the weekend, but it wasn't until today that email and a few of our other scripts were fully working. It's possible that I missed a few things, though, so if you experience any issues with the site, please send me a PM and I'll take a look at it.
