We’re downgrading from a dedicated server to a VPS tonight. I may close it starting 15 min before 5PM EST. One might experience a few problems later, which might be due to this server, but it should normalize itself within a couple of days. The move shouldn’t take long, you may or may not observe the change. Thanks so much for everyone’s patience.

Due to Michelle’s announcement of not competing in the coming year, in addition to the lower number of people visiting the forum in the past few months, we have decided to save costs by moving from a dedicated server to a VPS (what we started off with). I am positive this will be able to accommodate the users, and should hopefully be able to cope when Michelle skates at some of the exhibitions. We will be doing this move in the next couple of weeks.

This will also free up some reserves to renew our vbulletin license to upgrade to 3.6.1 (which includes bug fixes for 3.6.0). I have yet to put in our google ads again.

If anyone has suggestions what the forum could do to liven up the atmosphere, comments would be greatly welcomed.
