+Weirdly, when our team <del datetime="2013-04-24T20:38:16+00:00">said “let’s upgrade our server”</del> got a message saying “we’re going to upgrade your server,” we didn’t expect you to redirect our DNS entry to a machine so new that it has no files on it. Not just no files, but no configuration whatsoever. And no users, so no way to, I don’t know, *configure* the machine such that one can put *files* on it.
+
+I know. Silly us.
+
+No worries, though. It’s not like we were running a large-scale scholarly community that depends on the goodwill of its volunteer participants, whose goodwill varies directly with the perceived stability of the platform.
+
+Thanks, however, for giving the team a bit of clarity on the whole “hey, do we want to stay with this hosting provider or look for another one that might be better suited to our needs” business!
+
+Love,
