I was under the impression that that's what the downtime will be for. So Nate can move all of the recent stuff over to the new YWS. I don't think you have to redo anything.
Please help spread the word about the New YWS Transition by including the following in your sig:

From August 17 to 24, YWS will be down. See this for more info!

Everyone, please read the first post in this thread because a number of people are saying the same thing as Mr. Knightley. The database currently on the New YWS is an old database. It is for testing purposes only. As I say clearly in the first post under the FAQ, and as ImaginativeInsanity said as well, everything you did on YWS will still be here. From your perspective all that is changing is the layout. Nothing more.

Posts, stories, poems, blogs, funny anecdotes, trivial posts, reviews, critiques, etc. will all still be here. Once again all that is changing is the layout. That's it.

Sweet.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed by that which it was nourished by.

How convenient that it'll be properly up only a few days before I get back, I was worried I'd come home and everybody would be totally used to it except me. I'm so happy it's actually happening! Now to work out how to use it...

That one avatar in a hundred isn't so much annoying as plain utterly bizarre, Nate. It's like the new YWS wants a blood/pixel offering or something before it'll do our bidding. Ah well, it's a price I'msure we're willing to pay.

PS- on a totally unrelated topic, lawl, the adverts on my YWS are in French! And this keyboard sucks.

<3 I've missed YWS. Love how the new one looks. :) Can't wait! Maybe I'll actually get some real writing done for once, instead of using the excuse that I was on YWS. xD

Weee YWS is marked to come back my first day of school. :) That balances out the scary.

Gosh, Nate. Complete snazziness. :wink:
