OK, the time has finally come... we have a new server!
I will be spending tonight and all day tomorrow transitioning to the new digs... I don't expect it to affect us until late tomorrow afternoon.
I will make give everybody a warning then take us offline for (hopefully!) 3-4 hours...
When we are done, we will have a new home with 6 TIMES the power and RAM as before... I expect to see some MAJOR upgrades in performance... once we have settled into the new server, I will start to prep us for a major upgrade to our Vbulletin software... but that may wait until the post season...
I know it's been a long time coming, but bear with me for a little longer and it will all be worth it! [Reply]
It's dragging here in the woods, too. Of course we don't have nice things like cable or fiber in the country. Other sites seem to be running OK. [Reply]

If people leave because rep is no longer a thing then they were shit posters we don’t want to begin with.

I would recommend going to Xenforo over new VB.
The current slowdown is unrelated to any of that. [Reply]
