Update 6/16/26 2:35AM EST: Migration complete. If you see any errors with the site (particularly new since the migration last night) please let us know in the comments below.
Update: Content freeze will actually last approximately 1-2 hours so we’ve pushed it back to 12:30 AM EST to impact less readers.
Update: This will be somewhat delayed, mostly as backups etc are taking longer than expected. Will update when we know more
Just letting everybody know that at approximately 8:30PM EST the comments and all content will be frozen while we move servers. We are hoping that if everything runs smoothly this will last approximately 5-15 minutes but obviously things can and do go wrong. This server upgrade should make the site faster and also cheaper to run (meaning we can put more resources into improving the site).
Once the server migration is finished and the content freeze has been lifted I will update this post. After that time if you see anything that is broken please let us know in the comments below. It would be helpful if you could distinguish between if something is newly broken after the server migration and something that has been broken for some time.
