    Server migration *readme*

    The server will be going through a series of upgrades this week.

    Upgrade to new BBS
    Upgrade to new server
    New IP address

    You should expect a certain degree of downtime and unreliability
    in the coming days, I will post in advance of downtime.

    Good to hear! Hopefully it'll reduce the bugs in the site.

    Let us know if you need any help then. I'm sure some members know some VBB stuff.

    New server is ordered, will be online tomorrow.

    I will be testing out a fresh install of VBB and importing the database, once that works I will put the old server offline and begin the migration.

    I will have to remove all of the non-standard styles.

    My main concern is the mods in the old VBB which I don't think I'd be
    able to remove. I don't even know what they are as I didn't do the install.

    I am hoping the fresh install will work and later on I can figure out what
    outdated fields to drop in the database. I will probably just leave the old
    data in there to avoid borking the database.

    You may experience problems with 3.5 mods not working on 4, though...

    You should be able to see the mods in the admin. Was there much custom stuff?

    Do you need another wave of donations?

    No, the donations cover this!

    New server is up, and it's a nice one. I am starting the migration soon.
