Had to do a mass move once, it's a team effort and takes a few days at best with other requests coming in if you only got a few people. but 120 sites @ 10 bucks a month is $1,200.month, seems like you can afford something newer, and this means you can in turn learn new tricks, there is something still unique about using a new tag. And with cf5 wow, you have a lot of tags to catch up on. I'm sure before long you'd be using new tags before long.
