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]

This site is like a shoe that fits you perfectly. Maybe eventually it wears out and you have to get a new one. But, most at least at first will hate the new GUI/shoe, traffic will go down. Would that love of the new shoe ever recover to current levels? There is a risk of never recovering to the level of love with the new shoes/GUI.
I guess we should all still be using Windows XP using this reasoning. :-) [Reply]

Just saying like any other user experience, it has to be taken into account what the customer wants even though we are not buying anything on this site. [Reply]

JFC, I’m not saying don’t change the interface or don’t gamble on losing something. I’m not advocating for any single approach to modernization.
I’ve seen the backend of Chiefs Planet. Props to Daface, AC and Bearcat for keeping this site going with hardly any tools to help admin and better our experience. Salu!:-) [Reply]
