1. This comment is mostly to make sure those who only follow discussions w/ comments see Will’s note… but also while I’m here, to thank Will for this work he’s doing for the site (and all the other work he does for the site).

   Cheers, mate.Report

2. Your work is appreciated, Will. Thanks again for carrying the ball forward.Report

3. Thank you, Will!Report

4. What new stuff/features are we getting? Link to patch notes?

   I’m guessing nerf to Jaybird incoming.

   [p.s. thanks for the extra work]Report

   1. @marchmaine It’s more a matter practical behind the scenes stuff with an end result of “everything won’t fall down and go boom” – not that there’s any great imminent risk of that; this batch of construction has been in the works for months now – but as the site grows, the size of the db grows, etc. the risk has been growing.

      Will will have more to say at some future point, I’m sure.Report

      1. So, stealth nerfs… liks the RSS feed not working?Report

         1. I’m not sure… like, is the RSS feed not working? If so I doubt that’s on purpose (Will would know). More we needed to switch hosts to literally have room for our stuff.Report

            1. RSS appears operational. Might not have been during the transfer, though.Report

5. Thanks Will.Report

6. I’m just here to complain that we didn’t get an entire post on construction.Report

7. Welcome to the other side of the server migration! If you left a comment on Friday evening and it disappeared, it’s not coming back so you should write it again. It was not intentional – I tried every way I could think of to get people to stop commenting. There were only a half-dozen or so. My apologies for the inconvenience.Report

   1. “I tried every way I could think of to get people to stop commenting”

      Put up 70,000 words on Hegel. That kills the action on any site I’ve seen. Then again, knowing the OT crowd, you could have simply retitled all the articles “Oh, Those Kardashians!”.Report

      1. @pinky This made me LOL.Report

   2. If you’ve ever read your child a book called “The Monster at the End of this Book” (which seems to be a much-loved Gen X childhood tome – I still have my copy), the “how do I make people stop commenting” thing becomes a bit….comical.

      You could build a brick wall. You could glue the website shut. But people will still keep turning pages….er, commenting.Report

8. I don’t know what was involved, but thanks for doing the work to make this site go smoothly.Report

9. So Will tweets from Vegas then the server has to migrate….hmmmmm….You gambled the server away, right!!!Report

   1. Sometimes you take the points, sometimes they take you.Report

10. Thanks Will, you’re a champ.Report
