Just an FYI but over the next two days we're finally (hopefully?) migrating the site to a new home. I've already begun the process of rerouting our DNS through cloudflare, so in the next 12 hours if you have ANY problems reaching the site, please email me at sean at the name of this site.

Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 are now complete which include boring backend work, server provisioning, CDN distribution creation, and more DNS changes. Next I'll be upload and pointing all of the podcast files to the new CDN distribution and regenerating the feed XML before starting the transfer of site files and the database migrations. Once I get to that last step I'll take the forum offline.

Steps 7 and 8 are now complete. The podcast and media files are now uploaded to the new CDN and redirected for podcast listeners. If anyone has any issues getting episodes to play in Amazon, Apple, Google, or Spotify Podcasts please let me know. I've also migrated the main Wordpress site.

The next step is to switch the DNS to point the main site to the new server. Hopefully the forum will continue to work during this process, but if it goes offline I'll work to fix that and that will just mean I need to move the whole enchilada at once (sigh).
