There may or may not be some server weirdness over the next day or 2. We found a rootkit on the box, and are moving it over to a new *clean* system and may have some intermittent downtime while this takes place.
As we are on a 'virtual' system, but on a dedicated box, we are spawning a fresh base OS install, so system load should be the same - but as databases are brought down/locked for copying, it may cause some weirdness with the boards. Hopefully the majority of this will take place tonight before 95% of you read this - but just in case, here is your heads up =P.
As far as we can tell - we detected the root kits processes as soon as they kicked in, and were able to kill the accounts and processes being used - but we found wide spread corruption of many base files. As we don't keep anything crazy on the box like credit card info/personal info/etc - people should be fine, however it's always good practice to change your passwords frequently.
Now is a good time to change your password, now that you're thinking about it!

Also - IRC users, we'll be updating the IRC server as long as we're moving over and having to update everything else - this may be down a bit longer than the rest of the migration - have no fear, it will be back up soon.
Server weirdness!

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

aye - these are just file moves
leaving all binaries behind, moving data files over instead of imports/exports/etc

While things are in flux, you can always connect to the other IRC node (null-karma.com) or use the other CGI:IRC (http://null-karma.com/cgi-irc). Same network, same services, same abusive ops.
