As we bring another anniversary celebration to a close, we saved the best announcement for last. Beginning tonight, both InvisionFree and ZetaBoards will be upgrading to brand new servers. These new servers will be faster, more powerful, and more reliable, meaning your community can grow and enjoy an even better service. A lot of planning has gone in to this upgrade and we're excited to be bringing it to you in time for the holidays!

While we transition to the new servers there will be a short 1-2 hour downtime for all ZB boards at some point this evening (12/12/2011). We do not anticipate a downtime for IF boards during the move. We'll keep you posted on our Facebook and Twitter pages as the support board may also be inaccessible during parts of the move.

To let us know what you think of the upgrade, and to keep your community updated please visit the Announcement forum, Facebook, or Twitter./quote]

Based on that thread update, only ZB Server 11 has been moved (three days ago). I think they did it quickly that night due to an attack of some sorts.

Anyway, KOT is on ZB Server 8. I have no idea when or what day our server will be moved. Our URL hasn't changed, so I still think it is impending.

Most likely, the old URL will just point/redirect to the new URL (the s8.zetaboards.com will probably change to w8.zetaboards.com). However, you can update your bookmarks afterwards with the new URL.

Okay, keeping my fingers crossed.

Somebody make sure to label the old vinyl LP's as fragile, alright?

Phew. It's good that they're making new servers, the old ones, especially server 4, were extremely buggy.

I hope you don't mind me posting to clarify some points (the topic was rather visible as I restored the topic for you).
First, board URLs should not change with the new servers. That happened for server 11, but Brandon stated it would not happen for others. Even if it does happen, you're right in that the old URL will redirect appropriately.
Secondly, the current and soon to be "old" servers were in no way buggy. They were just targeted for malicious attacks - something these new servers are simply more prepared to handle.
I would also note that Server 4 hasn't had an issue in over a month (the attacks were handled and stopped) and the new attack target became s11 in such a capacity that it prompted the expedited server move.

I hope this helps clarify some points,

~Nicolas

Update: The server upgrade has been completed. :)

Thanks for clearing that up Nicolas! I'm glad our URLs won't change and the move has been completed!

And a big thanks for the restoration!

STL is on server 15 which has been glitchy for some time...will be glad to see the performance improve!

All the ZB servers have been upgraded. There were a few hiccups, but they are getting worked out.

They didn't scratch the LP's did they?

I'd check your copy of The Beatles' "Yesterday...and Today," tears in the "butcher cover" lessen the value...

Nope, but some have been misplaced. They are being tracked down though. :P
