    We are switching server companies and going to a dedicated like server where we can handle all the traffic that hits us when an announcement about us is made on the net or during football season.

    We are not changing the look of the place and the counts, threads, forums etc., should all look the same, we are not changing the software vbulletin is here now and it'll still be vbulletin when the migrating is done we just wanted to get everything done before training camp and season start, that is our really busy time, so get out this weekend, smell the roses and we'll see ya all back here hopefully by Monday the 18th.

    Calm down 86, it'll be good practice for when the twins arrive.

    Nobody will notice a difference as far as to the site's structure, their post counts, vCash and more. The only thing people will notice is some downtime while the site mitigates over.

    SoDev Don't tase me, bro!

    If we don't have some scheduled downtime now we are just going to have more unscheduled downtime in the future.

    86 you better bet on them today because once the site starts migrating it will take from several hours to a couple of days for everyone to gain access again.

    Yes SoDev, better to do it on a slow weekend then have a lot of traffic and get shut down by our current server company because we have too much traffic...
