Our forums were down for a bit the last two nights, and I didn't post any mixes, but there was a good reason: we just completed our server migration. Some pics:

The guys at LiquidWeb (http://www.liquidweb.com/) (thanks Tony & Dennis!) are awesome, making the impact minimal and the transition rather seamless. Heck, we even upgrading to MySQL 5.1 and added a couple PHP extensions while we were at it.
This upgrade was a big part of our master plan to rule the universe, etc. and it's fantastic that we've knocked it out so early in 2010, building a foundation for steadily increasing the awesome the other eleven months. We got several large donations this month that completely covered the migration fee, so a big thanks there - this box is dedicated to you!
Roughly speaking, it's four times faster, has five times the space (more or less), and three times the memory. As our astute Twitter (http://twitter.com/ocremix) followers pointed out, that's SIXTY TIMES THE AWESOME. Runs faster than Kenyans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs), crystal meth, etc. Bottom line, site should be a little faster now, but more importantly, it shouldn't get slower as we continue to pile on more stuffs. Moment of silence for the old server - it did what it did well, for over three years. Respect.
Nuff said.
