SDMB Server Migration/Upgrade Plan

<hijack>
Tomorrow, 28 August 2008, is the 45th anniversary. You’re not getting carried away.

Never said they were big. The nicest boobies are smallish.

I’m so glad the upgrade is included! I miss features that the modern version of vbulletin has soooo much, at last I’ll get to use them here.

It seems to me there ought to be a way for the posts made over the weekend to not be lost, and instead be integrated into the separate board version you’re prepping on, though. Somehow.

I asked and argued for this more than any other doper, so thanks for finally implementing it! I see a majestic unicorn in the SDMB’s future…

Yay! I’ve been lurking around, waiting to make sure this change was ever going to happen. There are quite a few posts I want to get involved in, but there was no way I’d feel comfortable asking anyone to sponsor my membership.

Anyways, I thought I’d join now, so I’ll be one of the first new Dopers. And so I can post in this thread before it gets 10 pages long.

Wait - your public argument as to why you should let Google et al. spider the SDMB is because you are making the search engine public, and not because of the $$$$$$$ you are going to be making?

Don’t kid.

There is a pitcher of Jerry’s favorite Northwest microbrew waiting for him if he ever gets to my town. Many thanks to all at the bigwigs at the SDMB and Chicago Reader.

It’s about time.

:dubious: I think Jerry made it clear that the $$$$$$$ is one of the good reasons, in the sentence just before your selective quote:

Fine with me, but I have expensive tastes. The 2008 bottling of Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Tequila will work fine, as will any fine raspberry chocolate truffles.

Between now and the time the new search is brought online, will the five-minute intersearch interval be decreased?

No, Skald, cos she’s nice!

Hmm…Labor Day…

Is that when you all have your babies?

YAY! CAPYBARAS!

YAY-HOOOOOOOO! * W00T! W00T! * STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

Before we enter the Twilight Zone, I’d like to check-- Is it going to be cool to bump any threads started in the near pre-disorder days, to ask for re-posts after the morphine wears off?

Also, I call dibs on that Sinclair ZX-81 in the corner, okay? It’s cute.

Any bets on how long after the upgrade before some posters find something about it to bitch about? I’m saying a week.

Great question and worth repeating.

The first day there will be complaints about both the Google Search and from posters who posted over the weekend not realizing their posts will disappear. There will also be a smattering of complaints from posters that just renewed and don’t feel it is fair the SDMB keeps their money.

If people want to complain, I’m pretty sure they can come up with ideas on their own. :stuck_out_tongue:

How were you able to nick Boo without getting some limps chopped off?

“Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!”

It won’t really, just less evidence is all. No use making the prosecutor’s job too easy. :stuck_out_tongue:
