[FX.php List] Server Move & List Housekeeping

[Chris Hansen]

It sounds like there is a definite consensus =) There may be a day or so of downtime when I make the switch, but I'll keep the list as is.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Of course, even on a new server I can leave the list "as is", but as there's not a lot of traffic, and most people here are likely on other FM-related web lists, I thought it a good topic for discussion.  So here are the options that I've considered so far; let me know if you think of others:
