by code I mean like bbcode
You'll know when it happens, the board and submission system will go offline for a couple of hours, you'll see a notice saying "You're still on the old server, what are you doing?! Join the fun!". This will happen while the DNS propogates over from the old IP addresses to the new ones. When it's complete you'll be on the new site on the new server like nothing changed.
Nothing at all will change in regards to the BBCode or even the way the website is programmed itself, this server move is simply to give us the capacity we need in order to expand all of the sites on the network. Server hardware moves at an incredibly fast pace and being on a server for over a year means you're on outdated hardware - rather than letting that continue the decision was made that we should get the best server we can for what we pay. That's the reasoning behind this move so don't think too much in to it, nothing will change in a major way except the site might load a little quicker.
