So.. have we switched? Is there anyway for someone to know (if the old server down)?

I did a tracert, and got this for VGChartz.com:

Tracing route to vgchartz.com [208.113.140.203]

It has been feeling quite "brisk" for me, for a day or so now?

The rising and falling of guests is part of the usual Vgchartz trends. Numbers spike when new numbers come, they drop briskly after 2 or so days.

Site is fine for me so far.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Please don't take the site down when earnings are released tonight. That would be a very bad time.

Usually takes around 2 hours for convergence between all the top tier DNS servers and their smaller clusters.

Do you have the database up and running on the new host? If so hook us up with the ip address and we can use the IP address while the DNS names propagates through.
