Sorry for the delay. In classic Buffista form I was sitting there waffling over whether or not "out" should be capitalized in title case. Should it? Should I just revert to normal case?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I love our quandaries.

Capitalize.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, we're gonna haveta move the board soon. I'm trying to work out the lowest impact way to do this, but there are going to be two gaps, and I'm not up to timeshifting them into the wee hours.
1--shut down here, copy data, import into new site--hopefully this is a couple hours, tops.
2--switch domain name over, so that b.org points to new site instead of old. I propose minimising this by pointing buffistas.com to the new site ASAP (once we've signed up somewhere--looking like dreamhost so far--check BBABB++ for deets) and that URL can be up and used until everything's shuttered down here and the "72" hour propagation delay for the address change to hit everywhere passes. Within the US, though, that 72 hours can be 2-6. And we can always have a URL pointing to the site.
Question is, when? Our server's compromised now, and we're raking up charges. I'd like to do this switch on Saturday, but I have no idea how much this is costing us right now. I've asked Jesse to have a chat with the site hosts to find out what the what is. But a Saturday morning switchover would be optimal for my reduced ability to cope.

Whatever's easiest for you is fine with me. And Saturday mornings have been pretty low traffic of late, seems like.
