Moving to a new host

The host that we're with now sucks.

A year ago, when I first started hosting sites with them they were fast, responsive and had little down time. Over the last year or so they've got way downhill. You may have noticed that this board is down from time to time, usually in the early morning (EST).

So... I've done a lot of research and have spoke with a bunch of other people in my position, and I've found a new host to take care of this site, as well as the others that I'm responsible for.

We will be moving this site over to the new host sometime over the next week. When that process starts, this board will be unavailable while the files & databases are moved, and while the DNS updates proprogate across the Internet. The DNS update is what will take the longest... I've seen it done in as short as 8 hours, and as long as 48 hours. At that point there's really nothing we can do but wait for the propogation to complete. When that occurs, I'll enable the board and we should be back in business.

There's only one thing that you need to know - if you have a "@forabodiesonly.com" e-mail address, your password will change after the move is completed. You will be able to change it yourself afterwards, but since I don't know your password (and can't find out what it is) I'll just have to make something up. Either myself or Adam will e-mail you directly with your temporary password.

I apologize in advance for the inconvience.
