    RadioRob got a reaction from Chidude in READ ME: Message Forum Moved to New Server   
    We're lucky in that we were able to save EVERYTHING. Thanks to the work of Orin and "Team Washington", they were able to get root level access to the server. That allowed me to export the entire forum entirely as-is and move it to a new server.
     
    I have not had a chance to export other sites such as the review site. I'll attempt to work on that later.

    We have moved the forum to a new server as of a few minutes ago. I have not had a chance to work on the review site yet. That will eventually happen. In order to do that, I'll need to setup a different website for daddysreviews.com since we don't (yet) control the domain's DNS settings. I'll most likely set it up temporarily as https://reviews.m4m-forum.org until we can get control of the domain's DNS.
     
    I still need to work on a few other things such as setting up automatic backups, etc. I just wanted to get the site back online ASAP so I took a bunch of shortcuts to get things online and then going back to do the stuff I skipped.

    Absolutely not. In terms of access, there is nothing different in terms of security or in terms of what big brother can see/do. We'll eventually have both domains. But for now, until we get control of DNS, I have a redirect in place on Daddy's server to push everyone over here. Once we have control of m4m-forum.org's DNS itself, I can have it come directly here.
     
    Eventually both domains will just work equally with no difference.

    This site is now running on a different server. So if something happens to Daddy's server, the forums itself will survive. It's now in a different home.

    One of the dancers posted on their Twitter the club is expecting to reopen in the next few weeks. So that makes sense.

    A couple of notes as this is a hobby topic of mine:
     

    Even if you were to close every credit account you have, it would continue to report on your credit report for up to another 10 years. (Bad info such as late payments have to be removed after 7.5 years.)
    You can view your credit report for FREE and without any impact to your score by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com and requesting a report from each of the big 3 bureaus.
    In terms of scoring, various behaviors represent how many points you have (or not awarded). Details can be found at: https://www.myfico.com/credit-education/whats-in-your-credit-score
    For MAXIMUM scoring in the "Amounts Owed", you would want to have each revolving trade line (such as a credit card) report a $0 balance except for ONE which would report less than 10%. (The statement should be generated at $0. For the statement generating with less than 10%, you can immediately pay it off after it reports and not incur interest). This technique is referred to as "All Zero Except One".
    If you're trying to maximize your score, you should have at least 3 revolving accounts reporting. (Having at least three accounts gains a few extra points which tend to be more than penalties associated with lowering the Average Age of Accounts and the inquiry ding).

    Also... just for a bit of perspective. While I'm not retired (and won't be for awhile longer), there is not anything to really worry about. Even if you don't have any active debt. Having a credit card and just letting some automatic charges such as Netflix hit it and auto-pay from your checking is all you need to keep a revolving trade line open.
     
    You don't need to take on new debt to have a good credit score. Just use the credit wisely and pay on time. All the same rules that apply pre-retirement would continue to apply afterwards. Good luck!
