Hopefully, all will go well and you won't notice an interruption in service. However, if things get screwy, I blame the monkey. Also, many congratulations go out to frequent Costa Rican contributor to BBspot and good friend, Francisco Rangel, who is getting married on Saturday. -If you're fond of traveling to the nether regions of the BBspot archives and the stories contained within, you'll notice that many of the older story pages have been converted to the new design. Slowly, but surely, I'll hunt down all of them and put them out of their misery. The new design allows much easier upgrades for me, easier navigation for you and a more consistent design throughout the site for everybody. Also, in all this spring cleaning, I cut out a lot of the excess code and image size on a lot of the pages, so if you think the pages are loading a bit faster you're probably right. They should really fly on the new server. - This week's poll was "Favorite Video Chip Company" Find out the winner.
