Pretty much all of the problems to this point have been software/configuration issues that hadn't yet been ironed out. We would have waited longer to test for those kinds of things, but gamesquad pulling the plug made us do a rush job in hopes that all major bases were covered.
Things should be in working order now. Regardless, the fundamental difference of this server from gamesquad is that we can fix this stuff now. We have full access to the forum software, the server OS, and it's hosted by people who do it out of money, not momentary goodwill. Further issues may arise in the future, but this time around we will not be forced to sit helplessly.
