Thanks, Matt!

OK, either everyone has decided to take a day off of MeFi, or the new server is finally in place. Kudos to Matt (and the rest of the mefi crew), the site really smokes.

although searches on threads and comments since day one still time out, so maybe I spoke too soon...

Hrm. This topic doesseem familiar, doesn't it? As Anil reported in that thread, the server requires new fans (although I count myself as its biggest one), and the projected timeframe for that wasn't mentioned. Maybe Matt should make a "Countdown to the New Server" clock on the front page, or better yet, a "Guess When The New Server Is Up" contest. The winners would receive a piece of the old server's logic board, signed, numbered, and elegantly mounted in a plexiglass display box.

I'm working on the new server right now, it should be moved over probably by friday, then you should *really* feel the difference.
