Server Migration Underway 07/09/08

UPDATE: 08/12/08:
The migration was a success and now email functionality is also back in action.

FIrst off if you are seeing this entry with this sentence, you are hitting the new server - woot! :)

Hi all, just a quick note that we currently undergoing a migration of the entire site and its database's, mail servers, etc. to a new DV host at mediatemple.net where this site is hosted. The existing content, databases, etc. are already migrated and in place, so its just a matter of a few more configurations for other domains that point to this site, and then we are going to throw the switch on the DNS. One remaining issue will be email, as we rely on another server to handle the emails for this domain (contact form emails, and member signup verifications, etc) it will take us a little more time to get mail working as that machine will take a few more days to be completely migrated. As soon as everything is complete we will update our status, as well as put a note on the old server and new server so folks can validate they are getting the latest DNS entries. We did drop our TTL value on our DNS recently to prepare for the migration, so it should be fairly transparent.

Part of the server migration will allow us to host a more robust forum, private mailing list and some other nice additions we have planned - stay tuned!
