The time is nearing for us to pack up and move. I'll be the last one to shut the lights off here at the anointed time. After that time access to our forum on this server will no longer be possible. However, a maintenance web page with instructions and news will be available at this address (bookmark it if you have not already):
http://www.brainformation.com/
It can take up to three days for the world's Internet routers to point to the new server and not the maintenance page on this old server. Keep checking the above web address for news and updates. At some point in time it will take you to the new server, but if you can't wait, use the instructions which will be emailed to you to edit your system's hosts file and bypass the usual network routing. Editing system files, however, might be more than the average computer user wants to do, thus alternate entertainment links will appear on the maintenance page during the migration.
E-mail to the administrator's account may or may not reach it's destination during the migration period. However, everything will be back to normal after the move is completed. Should you need to get in touch with me while we are on the move, I set up a temporary e-mail account for that purpose:
guard6280@mypacks.net
After the new server is up and running, you will look around and wonder what really happened. Nothing will be different than what you see now (hopefully). It's possible the server will respond a little quicker, but the appearance of Brainformation should be identical with one exception. Under the site's title, Brainformation, we currently have the subtitle "A waystation along the information highway." The new subtitle during the migration will be "Welcome to the new home of Brainformation." If that is the only change, you may wonder why we are doing this. The answer is that the new server has more resources than the old. We will be able to expand and possibly upgrade to new software after we relocate.
Hopefully the move will go without a glitch, but being an old time system administrator from way back, I'll give it a 50/50 chance to be flawless. In any case, I can assure you that we will be up and running eventually, even if things do not go according to plan.
