    I might kick this project off a little earlier than 8am. I'm just sitting at my keyboard twiddling my thumbs for the most part and watching the clock.

      The best part of server virtualization is that I can restore the system to status quo ante with three mouse clicks. So, I'm not worried about having a disaster. I just want it all to off without a hitch regardless of how long it takes. The longest operation is moving the MCB database which is around 40gb in size. That alone might take quite a while to copy. Let's do this thing.

          I'm slightly surprised that the forum is still up with everything happening right now in the background lol.

            Okay. Done. Server is upgraded. More memory, more disk space, better OS. I don't know about Vbulletin upgrades. That's a slightly different issue that I have to check with Carter about.

              As an IT guy I’m curious about the infrastructure behind the scenes. Are you self hosting? Or are you using IaaS? Are you running some flavor of Linux or Windows (server?)?

              Wow. I didn't even notice the downtime. Thank you for giving up your Saturday morning to do work while we all slept in. You were inconvenienced so that we weren't. I really appreciate that.

                Just an FYI. I've collected, some say hoarded a large and varied collection of paintball markers. At some point I will photo all of them. If there are specific markers that you may need pics of, just ask. I'll find and forward them

                  There's a fairly short list of members with the street cred to say this.... And actually stand out from the average around here 😁 You are one of them
