Oh man, I cannot even imagine the enormity of the task. I have customized little forums with few users and was a serious pain in the butt. To do something this large and pray nothing happens in the process must of caused you guys to sweat bullets.

I can imagine some test runs of the upgrade had to be done before attempting to try it on the live server.

I am cringing just thinking about it.
