Word of advice to those who understand it...
NEVER EVER EVER SSH into your website and issue a command like rm -fr ./ 123flashchat
1 little space between the './' & '123flashchat ' and you've just wiped out your entire website that you spent the last 4 days migrating. Fortunately, admin does regular backups and since the forum data is kept in a separate database, no posts should have been lost. Admin apologizes to those that may tried to use the site last evening. There is still a little cleanup to do but everything seems like it's working again - 4 hours later :-/
