Son of a stupid effing squid-pooching server

Once again the black monolith that is the server hosting the AIC forums took a dump Sunday night. My Guardian Admin pressed the Big Red Button this morning and the forums are back - otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

To avoid further flakiness, please excuse further downtime as I move the forums to the ghostly virtual machine wafting eerily in the aether of Dallas.

More later once the transition is complete. This migration should be quick though with a little more pain than I had hoped.

As always, sorry for the outage.

PS: To whom it may concern: deal with the fire marshal or so help me, I'll piss in your mailbox.

Okay, I've flipped the big switch. The current DNS stupidity should last for 12 hours or so, that is, noon Tuesday at the latest.

As always, send me a note if something seems crapped up. I did this pretty quickly and I'm not entirely sure things like mail notifications are working.
