Currently Josh is migrating our server and so when the switchover occurs some posts may be lost. I should be able to just do a database dump and reload it into the new machine when it's up and running, but I want you guys to be aware just in case there are some hiccups and posts go missing, so I don't get flooded with WTF messages.

Being as you guys are hilarious internet douchebags, I am locking this thread so it can't be filled with WTF comments. :P :P :P

Jerks.

Migration is complete, downtime later so I can back up the database and transport it over before he updates the DNS. Otherwise we will lose everything that happened in the past 24h or so.

We're not completely done but I didn't want to keep the forums offline forever. Please feel free to go about business as usual and I will update as things progress. Further downtime should be extremely limited.

So how long until this new setup breaks and we have to "migrate" again?

Not at all. They could be carried.
