FYI: The site will be down this weekend at some point for a few hours while moving to its new more powerful server, in preparation for the upcoming season.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Seconded. FIRST wouldn't be the same without Chief Delphi, and we don't show enough our appreciation that we have for you, Brandon.

Is there an estimated time-frame for when the site will be down from (what day and from when to when)?

Brandon, is it possible to get a more accurate day/time estimate? Fantasy FIRST starts this weekend, and I know I would like to not have to move drafts around--for one thing, it'll be hard to find a day/time to move them to--or run them in multiple sections. (Drafts start 7 PM EST and should end before 10 PM EST, for reference.)

That said, I like more power. Now if only Brandon also ran the FIRST site...:p

Another upgrade! Sweet, seems lately about every year CD gets a server upgrade. Is this more processor power or more bandwidth power?

Eric: It will happen in a few hours. Sorry for the short notice, just saw your post.

Mike: It's moving from a dedicated server to a CloudLayer server from SoftLayer, which will let us dynamically increase RAM & CPU during the season, to handle the high traffic. During the off-season, we can scale it down and save money. In the end, it works out to just about the same hosting costs.
