In case you might have missed it, we had put FT down for the weekend to finish the move and fine tune our decision to invest in a dual-processor server - and the weekends are the slowest time on FT in order to accomplish this.
We were finding that when users were at the highest peak there were some performance problems and while you may not see any difference in normal times on FT, the extra processor should help.

There is no perfect time to have the Board down so we took the path of least traffic which we know is still not the path of least resistance.

The shutdown a few days earlier was so that our server farm could move our servers to their audited facility which was/is a requirement for a venture we're getting involved with.

Sorry for the rest - and thanks for your continued support of FlyerTalk.
