Why is TGO so jacked up?
I've noticed that the board underwent some sort of change. Switching servers? TGO was offline for the switch, then online, then offline again. Now we're back online, but half the time I try to access something on a forum, or post a message, I get an error message. Plus, everyone's avatar is screwed up.

Apparently there was a move to a different server. When you consider all the personal settings, attachements, and so forth that is associated with the size of the BBS database, it will always have after shocks when something like this happens.
I'm betting it will take another week or so until it is all back to normal. Maybe longer.

TGO switched hands, and also switched to a different server. There is a lot of work and time to such an involved process. With the needed work on the database, as well as the size of the database and website itself, transferring took some time. There was also some compatibility issues with the different mysql versions between the two different servers. Dirk, the new server administrator, and the others involved had a lot to work with.
As it is known, there are still some issues and it's going to take some time to get them all ironed out.
Thanks.

Well it was already mentioned elsewhere, so yes, Dirk sold TGO to a new owner/company. As far as we know, no big policy changes are planned.

As well, Dirk was very concerned about TGO's future when he considered this. He spent the last 9 years here for TGO, to provide us all a place to come to. I doubt he'd doing anything risky to throw all that away. He plans to remain around, from what I understand.
