    They managed to clear up issues on their end right quick. The move is complete.

    You should be seeing a faster more nimble M/A now too. :D

    Due the host having to deal with a DDOS attack on a Middle East based political site this move has been put on hold.

    Look for updates soon on when it will be rescheduled.

    Anyone else finding better response times now too?

    I've performed a slew of tests to verify what I've been seeing and it looks like page delivery times are are 35% quicker.

    Thirty five% faster than half a millisecond? I don't think I'll notice!

    Monday Morning 11/7, 5:30 am Central. Forum is slowest I have ever seen it. When I select an item from the 'new posts' list it takes 5 seconds or longer to switch to next page.

    Think I have this resolved. Looks like the new IP has the Content Delivery Network wondering where to look. I've disabled it for now till propagation is complete.
