We have made significant progress the last few days in collecting vital information, gaining control of stuff and generally rocking the world!  Okay not really, but at least we have a better handle on things.  When we lost the porbeagle server, wow, that was a nervous moment in time!  Our first test so to say.  Yet even then, the procedures to correct that problem were all on Dreamhost.  We did loose a bit of information when the data base was restored: some post that had occurred between the time of the lost server and the last backup Dreamhost had made.  Nothing older than a day or so.  We are still looking seriously at migrating away from the UBB boards onto those of vBulletin.  By year end?
