WE HAVE RETURNED!
#1
Yes, after 16 long hours the site move is complete. We are now running on ServInt's computers, and if you can see this your DNS info has switched over as well.

The forum has been upgraded to version 2.0! This has a lot of cool new features and I hope you play with them. One of my faves is the "Lo-Fi Version" of the forum - check out the link at the bottom of the page here. This is a sweet feature of 2.0 and it'll be a real boon to modem users and those who like to read things at work while the boss "lurks." :) BTW, you should all also be able to set your forum title now. Go nuts. For those who previously won contests allowing you to set a forum title, sorry that it's not so special anymore. It was all just in fun anyway, right?

I was able to successfully migrate the threading information from the 1.1 hack! I RULE! All content should be completely preserved.

ALL USERS WILL NEED TO RE-SELECT THEIR AVATARS IF THEY USED ONE OF THE FORUM'S SUPPLIED AVATARS. Else, it'll just appear as a broken link. IPB 2.0 stores avatars in a different manner.

I'm going to sleep. What's left yet?

1) Troubleshooting possible problems with anything that's not working on the site. PLEASE LEAVE A NOTE HERE OR PM ME IF YOU FIND A PROBLEM!

2) Email accounts are not fully set up yet. Sorry, admins, I'll get to that first thing tomorrow morning. Your accounts are there and gathering mail; I just have to work out getting to them. This also means that if you find a problem and you're unable to post or PM here, drop me an email.

3) As you can see, the upgrade from 1.1 (years old) to 2.0 (just released!) made such radical changes in the skinning that the old skin was basically useless (and error-prone, to boot, since so much was missing). We are temporarily running on the default forum skin. I had to make a decision - leave the forum down for another full day perhaps to get the old skins converted, or put it up with this skin and let everyone use it? I chose the latter.

One side effect of this is that everyone can now see each other's post counts. I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT THIS WAY FOR AWHILE, and see if it makes a difference. The moment anyone tries to use "post count" as some form of leverage in an argument though, smackdowns will be called for. I do not give any preference to users with high post counts here, and there are no "user ranks" based on that either. Users at the Lounge will always be judged by the quality, not quantity, of their posts.

That being said, anyone who has a post count higher than me posts too much! What's wrong with you people? j/k :)

Okay, I'm really tired right now and things are just swimming in my head. Please leave suggestions and comments in this thread. I'm going to bed. Please continue on in my stead.

Oh, and please consider donating if you want to say thanks for sacrificing my entire weekend. I hate to be begging here, but the cash could really help. :huh:
