Thanks for all of the great compliments. It is always gratifying to have your efforts recognized and appreciated. You are all great!
As for the move itself, the results at my home are mixed. I have one machine that now refuses to see the new server, although it briefly did, then reverted to the old server. The other machine goes to the new site no problem.
The way it should have worked is everyone should have just switched to the new server with no noticeable change whatsoever. Some of you are reporting that experience and that is great. For others however, myself included, the switch has not been seamless. In fact, in all of the times we have changed servers with this site, this has been the most problematic in terms of the DNS (Domain Name Server) resolving to the proper host.
Based on your reports and my own observations, the problem does not seem to be limited to one kind of browser or one kind of operating system. All seem to be affected and, at the same time, all seem to be able to get through with no apparent pattern to their behavior.
I expected all of the problems would have cleared up by now. Usually it takes 24 hours, no longer than 48, for the new DNS to propagate. Unfortunately, for some, the frustration continues.
Skunkboat, the reason you can see the Gallery and not the Forum is because I never turned off the Gallery on the old server. It will probably begin returning a 404 error whenever the old server goes dark. Hopefully, by then, the problem will be resolved.
Charlie, I don't know what to tell you about your upstairs toilet, but I am glad you are able to see the site to tell us about it.

Charlie is directly responsible for his toilet flushing problem, this I can tell you.
June 14th at 11pm is when I think the old server will stop responding. Fingers crossed that these intermittent problems will cease before then.

Everybody who cannot see the new server, please raise your hand.

I have the opposite alot of the times on another forum. I'm having no issues on any of my equipment on wifi, haven't tried 4g yet. But another forum I'm an admin on I can use no problems on wifi, but if I switch to my verizon data, it goes blank.

As of early Tuesday morning, all of my devices are now going to the new server. 
All problems from one of my two computers are gone and I have no issue getting to the new server. On the other computer I've found that when I go to www.wellcraftv20.com it still goes to the old site. However when I go to wellcraftv20.com it directs me to the new site.

Thanks to everyone involved in keeping us afloat!
Thanks to everyone who has offered to pitch in. Nothing is needed right now, but I plan to update the donate page so anyone that wants can kick in a few bucks to start a fund for future upgrade. Will let you guys know once that is done. Right now I'm just glad we made it here!

Junior members can’t be trusted to go into those very special areas unsupervised.
Lol Not true. Somethings obviously wrong. I'm sure Blue or Valiant will have it sorted out in quick order
