    Not sure if this is helpful, but sometimes I'll get a message in Google saying it couldn't connect to the Boards. It's not my internet.

    Sorry for any errors you've received in the last hour or so, just trying to clean up some residual problems.

    I think at the moment Grahame might be doing things. We've got a few error messages popping up in the server log. I've had the odd blank screen as well.

    Edit - what he said..

    "Little did the fools realize that with The Second Move, a tear in the Unbanned Request Forum Fissure had occurred, unleashing The Permabanned Ones upon the land, causing chaos and terror, multiple Parody Threads, millions of Useless Socks, billions of unwanted Senate Threads, and the Destruction of Pancakes and Waffles. All was darkness...and 8SA."

    I'd have been done 2 hours earlier if I hadn't misread the available disk space number. Not quite flawless, but I'll take what I can get :)

    FYI, the last move took 9 months because at the time the boards were on IGN, only they could move us off, and only one overworked-and-soon-to-be-laid-off guy at IGN could move us. Also, I had to engage in multiple conference calls with data specialists and IGN staff to get us to that point. We're actually quite lucky they didn't just delete everything and tell us to start over.

    That migration was one of the hardest technological challenges I've ever worked with, it really is an amazing feat that we ended up with *most* of the data on a completely non-compatible platform.

    Completely off topic, but I can't wait till we move the RS forums to Xenforo - I want more trophies!

    I've done the migration test a few times and could actually do it for real now if push came to shove. I'd prefer to configure and refine it a little first. It won't be long, that's for sure.

    Let me know if you need any testing help when you do it for real. I'm just a regular user over there (LAJFett).
