4935. From Mac: Okay, everyone - today's the day. The boards will be turned off today at approximately 3:30 pm, Pacific (USian) time/6:30 pm, East Coast time. That lets us grab the most recent data and move us to the temp host. At that point, I'll redirect the DNS.

Then what will happen is you'll get a "page not found" error when you attempt to go to absolutewrite.com, that may last for anywhere from the next hour to about three days.

You can watch for updates in these places:

Thanks!

4937 - I'll be lost in the other forum. It looks different. I'm skeered. :(

4941. Start a counting thread and move the new posts over here? :) Nah, that's just silly.

4943 Yes, register during the day while they have registration open and aren't overwhelmed by spammers. Use the Magic Word MacAllister to get in.

4945- All of our counting over there won't mean much, since we'll be moving back here. :Shrug:

4947. And only three days. We'd maybe add 1000 to the count, which when going to 1,000,000 will it really matter if we end on March 8 2054 or March 11 2054?
