Once again, we've outgrown the current server on which mintywhite and a few of my other sites reside.

I'm confident I've optimized the system well so I am taking the other approach: "mo' powah."

You should experience minimal downtime on the site as I'm going to build a replica of the site on the new box and then make the DNS switch.

During the replication -> switch, the forums will be closed so no posts are lost in the transition.

Thanks for beating up our servers so much that we have to move... again No really, thank you. Without you, this site wouldn't be what it is.

Well, I'm going to rest my eyes a bit... the planning for this migration has got them stinging a little G'night.
