One idea/question: Is there any way to help folks who might be googling something along the lines of "what happened to the death-valley.net forum" find this new forum? Just thinking of old forum members who don't know what's happened in the last 36 hours (wow, did all this really happen so fast??).
I'm open to suggestions. Unfortunately, I've already been locked out of the old site as a result of scraping all 232MB of posts so I can't even post there any more.
I was initially thinking an idea might be to add something to your updates page (https://netllama.linux-sxs.org/dv/index.html) along the lines of "if you're looking for the old death-valley.net forum..." or something that folks who are looking for the old forum would be likely to google. Problem is, whenever I google "death-valley.net" I get lots of results from the old forum. I'm not sure if at some point those results will disappear and this one will appear near the top (I have no idea how often the google bot visits sites, or even if that's what happens). I'll keep thinking. For now I'm just emailing this forum link to any of the members from the old forum who I have email addresses for.

Wow, you should get an award for being the first member to get your old DV.net signature set up on this new site!
