2007-10-01: I am switching hosts.
JonLeung:
I am switching hosts soon.
Be aware that if you post new messages from here on, you may lose them since I'm going to do a backup right away here, and the forums will be restored from the backup.
That doesn't mean you can be a jerk here either though.
EDIT: Never mind, it's not a huge rush. Probably in a couple days. bustin98 will shut down the forums and make a backup at that time. So there won't be any lost posts if you post until then.
TerraEsperZ:
Having barely survived several board wipes/accidents/failed-missing backups, I am a bit distressed by this news :(

JonLeung:
I had the foresight of backing this up myself on my own hard drive.
Plus, bustin's handling this one, so we'll be better off than when Inty did this.
TerraEsperZ:
It's not that I don't trust you, but... well, I've learned to keep an "I told you so" handy just in case ;)

Maxim:
Backups aren't hard. Leave this board open as long as possible, flip the disable switch so people can't post, take a full backup - twice, on different computers - in a portable form (I'm hoping it's an SQL-based database underneath) and then there's no way you can lose anything, even if the end result is having to make a custom script to do the transfer.
