Okay... we are up on the new server. All I need to do now is turn the forum off, downoad the database, upload it to the new server, have them populate the database over there, and turn it back on. Hopefully, that should take an hour.
I'll wait until tonight or sometime over the weekend to do it when most everyone is sleeping.
When you go to log onto the site, you may see a temporary redirect link. If you do, just click it and it will take you to the new server. It will then just disappear when the DNS gets redirected to the new server. Don't change your bookmarks during this time... it will end up being the same as it is now.
The new site will be hosted by bluehost.com and I've tested it out already with a backup of the forum from a few days ago. It is much faster, at least from here anyway... and lets face it, that is all I really care about.
That is all.

ps... it is also very possible that I have screwed the entire thing up...
