I've updated MT3 to 3.15, and MT Blacklist 2 to 2.04b (and still no de-spam button, darn it!) and re-applied my little import-it-yourself patch. With that done, and the secret volunteer program getting under way, and all the server and spam problems squished, we should be able to restart the upgrade.
The current plan is to migrate the blogs across one by one. This will change your post numbers, and so possibly change your permalinks. There is one other option: The Big Bang Upgrade. Rather than transferring blogs to MT3 one at a time, just upgrade the entire MT2.6 installation. From what I've seen, this should basically work. Probably. I think. Well, anyway, the way I (almost) have things now, I will be able to step back and everyone will be able to move their blogs themselves. Cut and paste, export and import, rebuild - ta da! All without direct Pixy intervention. So what do people think? Would you rather take a little time and move yourselves to MT3 when you're ready? Or risk the Big Bang? (I'll note that there's no chance whatsoever of losing your blog either way; we have backups everywhere.)Posted by: Pixy Misa at 05:33 AM | Comments (30) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)
Either way is fine with me. My templates need a tad of tweaking to function in MT3 but Rob's already got those set to fly so just lemme know what's to do and I'll do it.

If we go that route, are the permalinks going to be mucked up? Is that a foregone (I link back to previous posts quite often)?

Hmm, says Pixy.
Okay, I'll set up a test environment with a copy of the MT 2.6 setup and upgrade it to MT 3.1. And see what happens.
If it mostly works, we'll try it that way. If it's a mess, we'll go back to the one-blog-at-a-time way.

I'll see if I can be a bit more precise than that in a minute (digs out MT 2.6 and reinstalls...)
