BYC Server Upgrade Tonight - Downtime Expected

[Nifty-Chicken]

Hey everybody! We've outgrown the server we're currently on, so we're moving to a bigger and faster server that will hopefully

get us through the Spring rush!

Tonight, starting around 1:00 AM EST we're going to be moving many gigabytes of databases and files, tens of thousands of images, and oodles of other stuff. The whole process will take a few hours, but hopefully the downtime won't be longer than an hour. We expect the downtime to probably start sometime around 2 - 3 AM EST.

Thanks for your patience as we work hard to keep this boat afloat!

Good thing you have to get a bigger server since we have so many members nifty!

Good thing you're doing it on a week night, when I SHOULD be sleeping before I go to work tomorrow.

Good luck!
