When you have a diverse userbase, a migration of this sort is incredibly hectic.
I think it would have been better had they moved the servers incrementally, say in batches every weekend. At least after the first attempt, they would have learned what not to do on the second run..

Many of these were dedicated servers that people lease and then resell space on. There were many thousands of people affected by it, including myself.

 Blame the Benjamins

If the bean counters had a hand in the move (which they usually do), the lease on the old facility was probably up on the 1st of Aug, so they waited until the last weekend to move everything. Almost always a bad idea. Also the cost of renting a truck to move the servers, plus the labor on a weekend is at a premium.

I bet dollars to donuts that the almighty dollar had a part in this fiasco.
