Due to continued space and power constraints in our primary data center, we will be moving all central DreamHost functions as well as the “spunky” cluster to one of our newer data centers.

Services affected are:
- Support Desk
- Forums
- Personalized Repo
- Support Email

Hopefully it will be sooner than the full 12 hours -- administrators usually "over estimate" the time required to allow room for accidents, much like how I estimated 3 hours maintenance window last time and did it in lesser than 1 -- but if it does last full 12 hours, you know what happened.

Also, for what its worth; I AM planning for the worst case possible (I've lived through July 2006 with these guys). I am currently developing an automatic backup system which will backup everything we have here on the day of (will be tested through the next few days), and automatically sent over to a backup location I have available. If things go horriably wrong, I will aquire a new hosting solution and update our name servers as needed.
