Looking for experienced opinions before I go LIVE.

Any advice? Don't do it!

I'm just kidding. Actually, just relax and enjoy it. Don't expect too much right off the bat if this is your first board. Don't be overwhelmed if it turns out to require more work than you expected. Don't be afraid to ask specific questions (in the appropriate forums) if something comes up. If this is a fresh board and not a migration, then backing up shouldn't be too much of a concern right now. Export your style and make sure you have copies of your images, but that should be about it. Spam is probably better to deal with as it happens, rather than putting in a lot of specifications before you know what your dealing with. Just take the basic measures starting out and tweak your needs as you go. Keep up with updates to the software. And any modifications you have installed. Learn as you go. And above all, enjoy yourself. I think I might have said that already...
