Moving servers

I am in the process of moving to new server. (This one with much faster SSD drives instead of mechanical drives) and faster processors. Earlier today I migrated all the old server data to the new server, but still need to get the IP addresses for my name servers changes from old IP to new IP. The thread and any threads or posts that are made for now until the IPs are changes will be lost once the move to new server is completed. As I type this thread, it is being done on the OLD server AFTER I migrated the data to the new server, so even this thread is going to disappear once the move is completed. Is that as clear as mud?

What fun!
 
So we can do political rants and they'll automatically go away? Oh, fun!
 
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog... and Fidel is STILL dead.

Is this why I received a notice today that my website "has reached their disk quota. The account currently uses 98.3% (245.76MB/250MB) of its capacity".

I had not made any changes in weeks...

Not sure if the migration has anything to do with it or not. I'll have to look into it.
 
Not sure how you or Fidel is coming along with this migration...but remember those posts that were supposed to go away?

They haven't.

Well, you're right they were supposed to go away, but I decided to do a second fresh migration of data from the old server just for the fun of it. That way we'd have all the latest posts preserved as mush as possible.

Hmmm a definition of fun with which I have been previously unacquainted.

Mush?
Huskies or content?
Oatmeal?
CHEESE!
 
No clue really of migration but I'm just reading and responding.
