Moving Servers - Downtime Expected

[Pauler]

we are moving to a new set of servers for CF on Thursday, Jan 30th. it will take about 4 hours starting at 10am EST. the hardware itself is an upgrade to what it was on before, so i am expecting improved performance for everyone.

the staff has scoped out the new servers and setup, so the completion of the migration should go w/o any surprises or hangups. however, we will have to continue on w/ performance tweaks as we go, so i ask for your patience until we can get everything optimized.

Despite the early go, I appreciated that there were actually status updates posted so we knew what was going on during the outage. Communication is a beautiful thing, and I'm glad to see it existed during this down-time. Thanks.

Downloading some large files so I can't really say right now,
Though it appears to be running about the same speed, I'll have to check some of the larger threads later.

Not so much. It just took almost 30 seconds for a 20 post thread to load. It's spotty, but doesn't seem any different than usual to me.
