IIRC has the other choice the status "asking, I be back"



The reason for server switch over is being able to update the website.

Previous requests on website update went unanswered. It is still fine is
someone says "Oh, I can update http://mlmmj.org/"


Plan for server switch over

* Mads Martin  says something like "Yes, those who have DNS of mlmmj.org
  are with us for this transfer"
* Now it makes sense for going further
* We have a Virtual Private Server
* We prepare that VPS
** Webserver
** website content
** Mailserver
** mlmmj
* Some checks
* Go / no go  decission
* Happy flow continues
* DNS update
* DNS cache delay
* We are switched over
* Happy ever after with those who care about mlmmj
