11/21/2007: "And Away We Go!"

OK, the great forum upgrade project has started in earnest. At 6PM, we took the old forums offline, and we're currently making a backup copy ... just in case. You might recall that was this very process of backing up the current forum program that drove the need to upgrade - it took three days last time. But it has only been a few weeks since the last backup, and there aren't nearly as many files that have changed. I'll be surprised ... and pissed ... if it takes more than a couple of hours.

UPDATE - 7:49PM: So much for optimism ... there are over 5,000 files that need backing up! Gonna be a long night ...

UPDATE - 3:08AM: Make that a really long night - just checked ... it's only about halfway through the backup process ...
