\n\nPlease be advised that this is a major move, and while we will do everything we can to prevent major service interruptions (largely with a read-only site mode we're introducing), \u003Cstrong>there may be a few hours of unavoidable downtime\u003C/strong>.\n\nThis move is good news, though:\n\n\u003Cul>\n \u003Cli>NYC is approximately \u003Ca href=\"http://serverfault.com/questions/137348/how-much-network-latency-is-typical-for-east-west-coast-usa\">80 milliseconds closer\u003C/a> to Europe, which is where a significant portion of our audience arrives from.
