mabye I missed it but how come the lightside is undergoing maintenance and the server change, and the darkside isn't? I can still access the darkside, but can't access the lightside.

Like I said, this is propagating randomly, over the course of 72 hours, depending on where you're located. Think of it like rumors spreading. Seems like our server host chit-chatted with your local provider about the light side, but they didn't talk about the dark side yet. So your ISP already knows that the light side has moved to a different server and is already sending you there (forums on the new server are still closed), while for the dark side you're still being forwarded to the old server (where the forums are still open).

To me, both forums are still open, which means I'm still being sent to the old server.

Oh, ok. I understand. Thanks for clearing that up menyak.

If you can read this, you're on the new server! If you find anything that's broken or missing, please let me know asap (except for the chat room which I didn't check out yet).

meh...i've seen sites that allow larger sigs...it looks like clutter when everyone has a sig that takes up half your monitor

...i'm more worried about having my post-count shaved

I think everyone is talking about file size, not neccesarily dimension size.

Whew, glad that its finally over. Those 12-36 hours seemed like an eternity!

Basketball and Hockey are the wicked stepchildren. At least that's what I've always called them.

Will we notice any immediate changes once it's done?

No more slowdown, which is probably all you'll notice, but that's the #1 reason why we moved.
