Happy customers makes us happy. We&#8217;ve checked in on those of you with completed migrations, and your enthusiastic and grateful responses have made the countless hours and sleepless night seem worth it.  <\/p>\n<p>That said, we&#8217;ve been watching the queue shrink in size more slowly than we&#8217;d like; importing the actual data&mdash;gigabytes and gigabytes of your precious memories&mdash;is taking much longer than we anticipated. Your content is safe on our servers but the job&#8217;s not done until you can see it in your own Hub. <\/p>\n<p>We really appreciate your patience as we work through the many migrations we&#8217;re performing.  Some of you have waited for an entire month. If you were preparing a microwave dinner, a few days would be an eternity.  If you were riding the actual Mayflower from England to America you&#8217;d still have a month of sea sickness left. Not to mention the scurvy!<\/p>\n<p>Your imports would all be neatly completed in a few months if we were the types to pinch our pennies, find a TV program and sit on our couches as we wait it out. <\/p>\n<p>But that is not who we are.  <\/p>\n<p>We are in the process of upgrading our server capacities, buying more bandwidth, and restructuring our back-end network connections to be geographically closer together for improved speed. We are going over every line of code to squeeze every bit of performance out of it. We won&#8217;t stop working for you! <\/p>\n<p>We won&#8217;t give up on you, and we&#8217;re so grateful that you&#8217;re not giving up on us. Please keep cheering for us and encouraging us&mdash;it is the best medicine for overworked souls. Once your import is finished and your Hub is buzzing, consider taking a moment to thank the individuals who have been working extreme overtime for the past two months and probably won&#8217;t get a break before 2015.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently launched the final Mayflower stage last week and we have seen quite a few successful imports since then.
