Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

am I supposed to know what my password is, since I never had a chance to set it?

Of course!

Okay, perhaps not. I'm going to reset your password -- I've made a small change to the e-mail code, so let's see if this reaches you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Thank you, thank you.

I still have no e-mail, though. I'll give it a few hours.

Let me into the board!

Betsy, I've reset your password, and I think I've found the magic header combination -- tell me if you get it this time.

Okay. The first test looks good. The second test involves taking a snapshot of the entire account and uploading it to the new server.

For the duration of the snapshot, b.org should be down, to ensure data integrity. I'm doing a test snapshot (for which integrity is unimportant) to get a sense of how long this down is, and then I'll block out the time for Thursday or Friday night.
