Scheduled Downtime For Move

At this point, we are still on schedule for being down starting late Friday evening (Jan 21st) and being back up sometime on Saturday evening. I had to change it to Saturday evening because of this:

Hello,

Due to the large amount of traffic combatcarry.net gets, to improve server performance for you and others we will be moving your account to a new server.

Summary so far this month:
Total hits: 325,068
Total bytes transferred: 2,569,854,962

This move will happen Saturday jan 22nd from 3pm-5pm CST. To ensure no data is lost, please refrain from making any changes to your account starting 6am saturday.

Thank you.

Sounds like we are getting more traffic than the current server can handle. The new website will be hosted on a differnet hosting company with 100x that amount of traffic threshold built into the hosting account. That amount of bandwidth should hold us for awhile, but if we grow enough to warrant it, we will upgrade again. :kay:
