Hi folks, we're going to be switching BAUT to a newer, even faster server tonight. It shouldn't take long, and you probably won't even notice.

We're going to shut the board down on Friday, March 7th at 9:00 pm PST for about an hour to make the switch. After that, it will take a few hours for the domain name to move to the new location. So that's going to be a period of limbo, where your posts might or might not actually be made at the new location.

I'll put an alert up to give you all more warning...

I'm already getting withdrawal shakes just thinking about it.

Have fun with the move Fraser. Hey, if you bring the beer, I'll help get that old sofa out of BABBling and into the van.

If the move flops -- my moves always seem to flop -- can you put up notes somewheres, like UniverseToday and BadAstronomy, with status?

It'll be nice to have a place to look after the forum has been missing a few days...

Aw, it won't be needed.

But, just in case...

Woo hoo, faster server. Pseudoscience will get debunked all the faster! A great thing for sure.

Pacific Standard Time = UTC−8:00

So Friday, March 7th at 9:00 pm PST would be Saturday, March 8 at 05:00 UTC. (06:00 CET)

I'll be sleeping.

Now With Extra Strong Anti-Woo!

1,500 posts. Nice round number. Do I get a price?

<drum rolls>

This is going to be a little strange. I'm going to be shutting down the site here, but keeping it open at the new server. So you'll be able to access it again when your computer routes to the new location. In some cases, it'll just take 10 mins. For other people, it'll take a few hours.

Anything you write from here on out will not go to the new server

Well, a week later, and the board seems to work better than ever!

So long as they keep tightening up vBulletin and don't make too many programming errors...

...I'll be a happer camper.

Er, Bauter.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.
