I have the new site set up and am about to change the pointer in a few minutes. At some point in time, either soon or in the next couple of days, the DNS will be in transit between this nexpoint.net host and our new host, for a short time around the time it is propagating. I feel confident that things will work much better on the new host. Everything is already running much faster and cleaner even with a large set of rewrites being used to test run the site in its current temporary folder over there.
If anybody sent me an instant message in the past hour, it is gone along with all my IMs from the past week. My user data file was overwritten with one of the server outages today. So please send me another IM if you did try to send one. I'm not sure, but I think mine was the only member file that was affected. Let me know if you have a problem logging in so's I can restore your member file if it happened to also have this happen.

How to Tell When It Is Propagated
Written on 07/31/05 at 06:49:01 GMT by Jos
When the DNS is fully switched over, you can tell by checking the site front page at http://www.sitelibrary.net/ . As long as you see the little hosted by note at the bottom left of that home page, you will know that the new nameserver is not fully active. Sometimes even after it switches there is a short time where it flutters back and forth a little. It has to propagate DNS servers world wide, so that's why.

The site is switching back and forth between the different machines right now.

The Welcome email is a little better now. It has a link leading to the main page here and a little more user friendly of a message. Thanks again for the reminder, GeoFan.
