To postscript Jesse's news, this is as good a time as any (MAYBE) to move hosts. If you have anything to offer on tat front from bacon chocolate on up to doing all the work, our timeline is TIGHT. See link above.

Currently Phase I of the Big Move is scheduled for Saturday (8th June) morning. That's when I plan on bringing b.org down, moving the data to buffistas.com which will be on another server running more recent versions of the underlying software, and bringing it back up there.
There are 2 known bugs currently with the b.org code and the more recent infrastructure, and full testing was not completed. Bear with us--logout doesn't seem to work (but if you don't have "remember me" checked your session will time out), and neither does "email the admins".
IF YOU WANT TO DO SOME IMMEDIATE, QUICK, TESTING OF THE CODE ON A NEW PLATFORM PLEASE SPEAK UP IN BBABB++.
The second step will be to move the b.org URL to the new server and code, which hopefully can be complete by Sunday. Most urgent goal is to shut our server here at Istrata down for good.

Alrighty, then. Buffistas.info is live--if you don't see a proper post there, the DNS changes might not have propagated to your neighbourhood yet. During any outage of b.org and/or b.com, I'll be posting information there.

Board going down in fifteen (9:00AM board time). Watch buffistas.info to find out when buffistas.com is up in its place.

Okay--I found the first bug, with the items in the right column not defaulting to the right place when all the posts are read.
Other than that, let's see how b.com works for a little.

If b.org shows you anything other than an outage page, please use it instead. Any bugs found, I'm only fixing them there, not at b.com.

So--even though Dreamhost doesn't have hard limits on the amount of database connections you can have, we seem to have tripped something on a lazy Sunday morning.
I'm going to open a ticket to see what I can do to prevent it happening again.
