So the upgrade went well today?

No downtime or dodgy messages for users afterwards? :)

Have you guys ever considered using VBulletin instead, it's much more stable!

In all seriousness, it went off-radar for me for a bit.

It was horrible, I had to do some work instead.

FD, it's not the forum that was unstable, it was the hardware it was sitting on.

The reason the site went down today is that a database hadn't fully been copied over, so they had to do it again. The old hardware was being a pain in the arse and not wanting to do it.

The size of the database for this forum is over 600mb and it didn't like trying to export all of it.
