If nothing gets in the way I am moving the site to a new server next weekend. The current server is coming up on 5 years old so before there is a hardware problem we are going to be upgrading. I'm moving 4 forums so it is going to take a while so if you can't get on the site for most of the 14th don't be alarmed.

FWIW, this is the only diesel related forum I'm still on. After auto forums lost everyone's password, I haven't been back since.

Format is not changing. Staying with VB 3.8. Only doing a very minor security update since the system will be down anyway.

I don't like how VB 4 looks for the most part and nether 4 or 5 is very stable especially when doing upgrades.

As for firing Mike L. that is still under discussion. :D

Still going to happen today. I have been uploading the files for the site since last night (a lot of pictures). As soon as I have the files uploaded the site will be taken down and then I can move the database. And then I will upload any new pictures that were added since last night.

No time frame yet so it will happen when it happens.
