So, there you have it. I'll announce it:

We are moving servers again! Weeeee :P. Stick with me.

There will be some disruptions in the service while i am slowly moving all the stuff over from the old server to the new server.

Going from:

1 Intel Pentium 4 3.19 Ghz
1 GB ram
80 GB HD

To:

2 Intel Pentium Xeon's
1 GB
2 120 GB HD's

This will take a bit of time, so please bear with it. Try to be considerate, and if the site is offline for a few minutes, just think that it will be for the better.

I picked the name defiant.osnn.net for the server, which was coined by rushm, and was picked out of a lineup by Khayman.
