Cool I'll try to get in and get it synced to my computer.

Hey. New board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FYI!
Hi, DreamHoster!
This is a reminder that the operating system upgrade we emailed you about a few weeks ago is kicking off in one week! We've included the original email below in case you'd like to double-check that you're ready to go.
Debian is an operating system that powers a huge chunk of DreamHost. And, like any operating systems, they receive regular updates to fix bugs, improve stability, and add features.
We will be upgrading your Virtual Private Server from version Ubuntu 14 (also known as Trusty) to Debian 10 (aka Stretch!)
Server: ps189917 Date of upgrade: November 04, 2020 Maintenance Window: 6:00pm-10:00pm Pacific Time Expected downtime: 20 minutes
You may notice that your sites become unreachable for about 5 minutes while we perform the upgrade. Don't worry - this is normal!
As is the case with any OS upgrade, there could be some environment changes that may affect you, and now is a great time to start preparing for that.
We strongly recommend reading through the page below to help prepare yourself for this coming upgrade, /especially/ if you are using Ruby, Python, or run a site that relies heavily on specific server packages:
We'll email you again the day of the upgrade, and again once we've completed the process.
If you've got any questions about any of this, just reply to this email and let us know how we can help. We're standing by to assist with any questions or concerns.
Thanks very much for your patience while we work hard to modernize our fleet of servers and bring you the absolute best performance possible!

Like the Cylons, I have a plan. Unlike the Cylons, I actually do have a plan.
1. Announce that after a certain time (thinking Satdurday evening) messages posted on the current board will not be transferred to the new board.
2. I can make a webpage redirecting people to www.buffistas.me for www.buffistas.org
2. I can download all the data from the current board and load it into the new board.
3. You can update the DNS settings for the buffistas.org.
4. I'll direct buffistas.org to the redirecting web page. At this point the board should be useable.
5. I'll get a certificate for buffistas.org.
6. I'll make buffistas.org the address for the board and get make a page redirecting people from www.buffistas.me to www.buffsitas.org
7. Slowly restore the static pages

No idea how I could help, but if I can help...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Given the origin of our community, are we certain that migrating on Halloween with a full moon out isn't asking for trouble?
(Kidding! This is so exciting!)

No problem, all the real demons find it too crass to go out.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
So we have to register on the new board, our account doesn't migrate? Man, I'm gonna lose my #18 ID.
Ah well, life proceeds. Well done, procedure enablers!

Accounts will be migrated, although it will ask you to change your password when you sign in. (Your new password can be the same as your old one, though).

Oh, fantastic! Thank you for telling me. That's a relief.
I'm sure this has been addressed, but what happens to this board? All this history here--will it be archived somewhere? It's asking a huge lot, I know, and in the end it isn't as important as other things are. But it would be nice to know it's *somewhere,* if anyone wanted to look back, or look up a point.
