Dear friends,
MFO has two transitions underway. The first is to a new server. We'e moving from shared space on a Total Choice Hosting server to a virtual private server at Green Geeks. We believe that will give us better reliability since our fate won't be tied to the fate of dozens of other sites on that server, and also better technical support. It will also substantially reduce MFO's environmental impact. The second is to a new version of the Vanilla forums software. We've had several of these upgrades in the past three years. The new versions of the software are never fully compatible with the older ones, so the transition takes planning and care.
Fortunately, we've got Accipiter and Chip on our side, so I'm in good spirits.
The discussion board will be unavailable beginning Friday evening, while we transition to our new server. You should expect it to be available again some time on Saturday. You will likely have to log in again. There will be some changes in appearance, since the discussion software is a newer version. We'll post announcements with information about these changes, which you'll see once we've completed the transition. If you have any trouble accessing the new discussion forum, please email Chip at
[email protected].
Keeping a good thought,
David

Here we are at the new server. Still waiting.
We moved quickly just for you. Hope the coffee's fresh and the bacon's delicious.
