BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[EggSighted4Life]

We haven't started yet... still prepping everything.

Don't worry, we've got backups of everything. Worst case, it just takes a little longer than we expect.

Keep in mind the size of this move. We have:

• Almost half a million members
• Over a million threads / topics
• Almost 18 million posts
• About 20,000 articles
• Millions of private messages / conversations
• Millions of uploaded images and files
• ... and a ton more stuff!

Ugh... I was hoping this was one of you April fools jokes.

Change is hard... even when it's for the better. I hope I continue to enjoy... so thankful for what BYC has been!

The new site will be almost completely the same as far as visual design.

This ^. The look of the new site is soooooooo similar to what you see now.

This should certainly ease the anxiety, at least at first.

How is the move going? I am so anxious something will go wrong!

Check! That's Hebrew.

The answer is probably right in my face, but how do I check?
