Most of you must have noticed how sluggish mediagirl.org has gotten of late. I'd like to be able to say it's because we're getting 37,000 hits a day, but alas we've not yet garnered the notice of the league. No, it's just that while our host's html servers are blazing fast, their database servers seem to be stuck in 1999. I've complained and complained, but it's a capital investment issue so their excellent tech support can't really do much at this point. (It's too bad, too, because otherwise they're a great host.)

So, after hoping against hope, I've decided to pick up and move the whole thing to a new host. I'm not sure what the timing will be -- there's still some investigating I need to do first -- but it will be soon, and when it happens, well, you know the routine. Hopefully it will come off without a hitch. With some fortuitous timing, I might be able to combine the move with a Drupal 4.6 upgrade.

In the meantime, please bear with the head-scratching pauses the site seems to take. It will all get better soon. (Fingers crossed.)
