[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1973721, member: 13098"] Stability and scalability will be all I am looking for. The best compliment for the implementation team would be that we don't notice anything except a speed increase. Of course, that is unlikely to be the case. They are also upgrading code and that requires making sure all the assorted code tweks need to be re-implemented. Moving a site of this size to a different server is an arduous, detail intensive process. Unfortunately, there will almost assuredly be some sort of problem that crops up. For many of us, we will take it in stride because we understand the potential pitfalls, or because we are generally understanding folk anyway. But there will be a few that will unreasonably be irate/grumpy/whatever and will complain needlessly. In the last week, I have migrated two major servers from aging hardware to brand new hardware at the company I work for. It is a tough process. I am sure the implementation team will do an excellent job. There may be problems that crop up, but I am willing to give them the time and support that they need to complete the transition. By definition of the migration, we will have a period of brief pain. But the payoff will be a stable, scalable server that can perform well with the load that EN World generates. So I don't feel any particular potential for a let down if that is "all" they accomplish. Even accomplishing that will be a notable event. Especially from folks that are volunteers instead of paid staff. Not that they don't have the skills, or the potential, but they are giving up their time from doing other things right now. I appreciate that. [/QUOTE]
