As you guys can tell we went through with the server transfer. All in all it was more like an uphill battle rather then eating cake and after hours of everything going wrong and having some fun with the Customer service we finally got the database transfered. All the little issues will be worked out in the meantime, while we get the vB software ready, which was just purchased ~5 minutes ago. Please be patient with any errors your receive or any data missing (some stuff didn’t transfer properly) but **please** lets us know of any issues or errors that come up. The server CPU error shouldn’t come up any more so that’s a big plus. Big thank you to Singh who is my personal hero now :bowdown _Thank you_ for being patient with us through this. :thumb ---

Findings… Some of the Avatars have not transfered and may need to be re-uploaded. Gallery isn’t working properly right now, but no biggie it will be redone for vB either way. Singh is uploading the rest of the image files needed for the forum to look like it used to, this takes a minute or two (1400 files) ---

im downloading the attachments from the old server now, 1500+ files i had 1400 to go when i left for lunch, im back now and I see my mom got on my pc so i gotta start that again, weeee thats nice after the attachments im gonna upload the gallery junk too then i figure out whats up with the avatars (well i know whats up i have download and upload them also) and then the icons as well but its all temporary cuz vbulletin is coming soon, so this doesnt have to be 100% perfect since we are switching so soon anyways and stuffliek gallery and attachment pics most likely wont carry over ---

Can’t wait until we get some vB in this bish vB will be great for this website, and the integration will be very well done, but as a software and it’s licensing contract are so money hungry it’s starting to piss me off and I’d debate on looking at alternatives or just spending the big bucks :ninja ---

ya should be nice, this was a real battle tho, because ewverytime i downloaded the database off the old host/server vlad had, the fuckin size was different, it was going from 40mb to 4mb to 14mb to 15 and 13 and 24mb it was nuts… finally vlad got them on the phone and i guess they “changed a sata cable” etc and i was able to get the full database once and for all… what a fuckin joke and then to top that off, my fellow buddies who also use my server took it upon themselves to change all file ownership without me having any clue and im sitting there battling my ftp LOL ohh gawd, thank god for ssh is all i can say ---

> [@McBitchin](#): > > i see a hell of alot of red x’s :sad thas cuz your using IE and im still uploading 900 pictures + from gallery and a shit ton from the attachments still etc AND since your in IE you probably see red X’s for alot of missing icons, its all being worked on. I would say give it till friday to be honest, because even if 99% of shit gets done today there is gonna be other shit popping up, dont be fuckin sad, thats my advice ---
