Hi All!

Quick note that I'll be doing some pretty big updates to the site this weekend for a security patch, performance and early prep for the site migration.

Site might go down for a few hours!

I've locked myself at home all weekend to put some serious time into moving our site to its new format. Here's some code:

https://github.com/illepic/Downfall-Migration/commits/master

Everything is migrating over to the new format just fine except raid groups and Images. Those are the last, big things.

Anything we particularly need on the new site? Video will be in by default, as well as better image handling. I'm also working on supplying "toons-per-site-account" system.

Anyhoo, just thought you all would like to see that there is real progress on this.

Edit: Also, the MMO-Champion feed is working in the bottom-right of the site again (after a year and half of not working).

My experience healing a few 5-mans.

Anyone else a little sentimental about all the incoming changes to the old world? All that time in STV and Eastern Plaguelands, now all changed forever?

I didn't see a discussion about this yet, so I thought I'd put it here. 

Goodbye, Vanilla WoW.
