    I will be shutting the site down shortly. When we are backup we will be on new hosting and a new software. This shouldn't take more than a few hours, but if I hit a snag it might take a bit longer. See you all on the other side!

    Ummm...board is disabled, stop posting dummy. I took a backup after your funny shit though :p I think only 'founders' can still post, so just don't until we are up and running. I already purchased Xenforo.

    I had thought SR was back from vacation, apparently that is not the case. THe board is backup. As soon as I have the code I'll post up and shut it down again. I already purchased the hosting service and Xenforo license, so it won't take long after I get the code to get everything up. That said, it may now need to wait until tomorrow as my time today is running out. Post away, I'll just take another backup before shutting the site down again so we don't lose any posts made in the meantime.

    Welcome to the other side! There is still quite a lot of work to be completed with the new theme, but the board is now fully functional, and everthing carried over. If you come across any errors or issues, please post up so we can work them out. I hope you guys enjoy!

    ps, the user gallery will come soon, but we will need to cover the costs of this conversion first before we take the next step.

    As an FYI, we are in the process of transferring the domain name over to the new registrant. It will take up to 5 days to complete, and the site may go down for a bit (but shoudln't since the DNS is already setup). Just an FYI in case it does go down within the next 5 days...it shouldn't be for long.

    This part of the performance debug or residual from the initial transfer from GoDaddy?

    Residual. The first attempt failed. This one is well on it's way though.

    The domain has been successfully transferred and points to our hosting account. If you did not receive any periods of downtime, you won't going forward (at least not for this reason).
