You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Sure looks that way. I can't even get to the page that lists all the lists. I'm guessing the lists server never got set up.

okay, should I report it on the bug page, or is this not a bug?

Here is fine. I think the bugs page is for actual system bugs or suggestions, as opposed to stuff that our provider forgot to move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got an email back from support saying he's moved stuff over manually--can you verify?

I looked in at the DCistas admin interface, and it looks like everything's there now. Plus, there appear to be new features. How exciting!

The mailing list software should send out reminder messages on the first day of the month to everyone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I got two reminders this time, if that matters. They're both timestamped 8:00am.

I just tried to close one of the experimental TV threads, and got this:
There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

The same thing happened with all the other experimental threads, and also when I tried to close Goodbye and Good Riddance as an experiment. I'm guessing the new server doesn't like the code for some reason. (Although the automatic closing of Natter 51 seems to have worked fine.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, got that error, too.
Also got an SQL error when I tried to move Bitches into the closed folder. And that happened right after the migration. Shoulda mentioned it then, but I saw something shiny and wandered off. Apologies.
