I will be moving this site, along with others, to a new server. I don't have an exact date yet to when the downtime will occur, but it will be within the next week or two and should only last for no more than 3 hours. It could however take a whole day depending on the transfer. I will post a message at the top letting everyone know a day or so ahead of time when the move will occur so you are prepared.

Thanks for the note, Travis - it's sincerely appreciated that you warn us before we fall into complete withdrawal.
I'll be keeping a lookout for the exact date when the site undergoes a state of downtime.

I encountered that same problem the day before (which only lasted a while). However, that wasn't the downtime which Travis had warned us about.

Having done this once upon a time I can tell ya the DNS updates can sometimes take a while (a day or two) to propagate over the internets. Pain in the butt it is!

I just moved whatsyourfiction.com and surprisingly it only took 5 minutes so I'm not going to even announce when I'm moving the site because I'll do it around midnight (late) and it won't be down for that long.

Okay, noted Travis. 
How about a little hint, perhaps? Like say, will it happen sometime this week or next week?

Hmm. My guess it's 12 midnight west coast time?
That would mean 3pm from where I am.
Thanks for the tip, Travis! Noted of that.
