New DIS operating software

[RobDoc]

We have made a decision to migrate to V-Bulletin 3. There are several factors that everyone needs to be aware of. The conversion will take place next saturday evening, February 28th. The boards will go down at 7pm and will probably not be back up untill the next morning.

Everybody's posts, post counts, usernames etc will be preserved but, there is one concern we have that everyone should be aware of. We are not sure what effect the new system will have on board performance. We are so happy with the way the boards have been running lately and there is no way we are going back to the "slow" boards and lack of search.

The problem is once we convert there is no way to convert back, we would have to go to an earlier backup copy of the board from saturday evening.

If that were to happen we would try to make that decision as early as possible, on Sunday or Monday at the latest. We would lose a day or two worth of posts. Please realize we don't plan on having this happen but we want everyone to be aware that the possiblity is there.

Remember if you want to try out the new boards go to www.testdisboards.com. You do have to register over there.

Enjoy!

I will try not to make any of my real insightful, precient, inspiring posts during that time, it would be such a shame to lose any of my pearls of wisdom and wit.

Thanks for the heads up

Thanks, Rich. We sure don't want to lose any gems. We'll just have to wait until the boards are stable before you post again.

I'll let you know when it's safe!

(Please don't post until you hear from me! )

Thanks good luck with the softwear upgrade Doc and speaking of upgrades I hope you enjoy those new points at OWK where, just in case Rich gets bumped, I would like to say for the record that the rooms are bigger, the walk from your car shorter...
