This means that the transition to the new server is completed and migration has made it to your local DNS servers.  

I had hoped to turn this site off on the old server before migrating, but got no real notice to go by until I woke up this morning and found that it had been completed.

Unfortunately what that means is that due to propagation times in DNS, we may have lost a few posts between midnight and 8am which were posted on the other server after migration had begun.

If you posted after 8pm CST last night, please consider reposting or replying to the earlier posts to continue.

This is where a lawyer would say "asked and answered council" but since I was apparently a little less than clear.

Anything sent to anyone, for anything on the site in that 12 hour period between 8pm (GMT-5) last night, and 8am (GMT-5) this morning is more than likely no longer in existence.

Great..(i guess ) ...What are the benefits from such a migration, if i can ask?

We can expect more bandwidth and new wonderful services (VB modules, etc) to appear to be the site even more fun and complete?

Nahhhh... Pffft..  Are you kidding?  Hell no.  I just like doing something to annoy everyone equally every once in a while, and since I couldn't claim Xoops <> vB, and couldn't claim anything else, I just woke up this morning and decided at random to swap everything to a different server.  

Again, maximizing the annoyance factor, keeping you on the edge of becoming postal, then bringing you back to sanity. That's not just my goal in life, it's my promise..

(seriously though, it's just the server swap that we've all known about for months)

Here's the best explanation of the whole shebang that I could cobble together out of wind, fabrication, spit, and BS.  (joking)

Apparently the new servers are having a bit of a hiccup.  Nothing to be worried about as of yet, but essentially we're so busy and so large that between two of my sites, we ran the poor baby out of memory and needed to restart the server.

Sorry about that, but don't be surprised at little things like this, as it's normal growing pains.

It's either have them increase the memory available (which they may not do) or trim the amount of data we're trying to store and manipulate, or 3) move one of the sites to either another server, or back to where it was, which negates any advantage to consolidating.
