A Morrissey-solo re-design is nearly complete and the plan is to move to the new version in about a week. This is a big move, just about every area of the site will be affected. Expect 2 or 3 days of downtime the weekend of January 29-30.
As it has been relatively quiet on the news front in the past year I've been able to spend time to rest and also work on these big changes I've been wanting to. With all the changes, I'm making sure the site keeps the same spirit (to the dismay of many, I'm sure). The biggest change is how the main page / content management system will work. The current one, Slash, is going away and being moved to vBulletin which has been powering the forums since 2006. While I like Slash, it is time to move on. vBulletin is more widely used, is much easier to maintain and has much better support for fixes and new features. More details on the changes later. What this means however is that the accounts used on the main page will no longer be used. You can register your account now if you haven't already. On a separate note, the servers moved last week to a different colocation facility as the previous one decided to close their Los Angeles office. While I didn't want to move, it's a better situation. It doesn't get much faster than this - the servers are now in one of the most interconnected buildings in the world, One Wilshire, downtown Los Angeles.

I am irrationally nostalgic enough that I will miss having a three-figure user number, but good luck with all the changes. The work you put into this site never fails to amaze and impress. Hope all's well with you!

Last year was perhaps the slowest for Moz news, and still Morrissey Solo was a compulsory daily click.
Cheers now,

I know that he may be critical of this site - but I know that for a fact - if you hadn't started it up and maintained it to such a degree, I would have missed out on so much... from live shows, to shows that I'd missed - set lists, pictures - and the endless entertainment that comes from these stories and forums.
Thanks again, sir!

I'm still so impressed that you continue to keep this site going. You offer us a bright light to follow in this increasing dimly lit world.
Moz Solo has been my browser homepage for many years and it will continue to be so.
I just wanted to say how much it is appreciated. Thanks for keeping the faith & good luck with the new site!

Will old stories stay available? (Score:1)
Will the old stories & comments (everything that's been posted on this site before it moves to the new pages) still be available for reading on the net after the site has moved?

Sounds like a good renovation inside and out.
The forum rules seem to be pretty good policy. Maybe it should be a splash screen or visible text before people post comments, even anonymous ones (if they are still being allowed).
best always,
