What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So b.org will be taken down on Saturday and moved to b.com, and then b.com will be moved to b.org on Sunday, correct? Meaning b.org will not be accessible on Saturday? Just making sure I understand the procedure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry for abandoning you, Jesse. I had to go give the worst presentation ever.

We should be okay without either of those options. Phone support is all fancy and shit. Istrata barely responds to emails (and I'm sure they don't lurk...).

Let me go and see what I can do during "lunch hour".

    • 6/6 skeleton b.com comes up
    • 8/6 b.org shuts down
    • 8/6 b.com gets the current b.org data
    • 8/6 b.com goes live
    • 8/6 b.org DNS is redirected to Dreamhost
    • < 10/6 b.org DNS changes propagate to the ends of the internet

Got it. So once b.com goes live, that is basically the board, and b.org will redirect there, so we can post on b.com?

Thanks to you and everyone else for all your tech wizardry in maintaining this place!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Istrata barely responds to emails

Seriously, Charles.

No--I'll give the all clear when b.org is fully propagated (and alt.buffistas.net) and you can resume your original programming.

Seriously, Charles

I swear (uh, for context, they seem to think I'm Charles Maurice de Tallyrand Pergod because they have never heard of email sigs).

Aha, got it, thanks.

You might be; I've never met you.

To be fair, some people call me Maurice.

I call you the gangster of love.

I've met you once, Space Cowboy is definitely the impression I got.
