New Upgrade Installed -- We Also Reached our Donation Goal!!

Ziroc · 03-16-2002, 05:42 PM

As many of you know, we have reached our Donation goal to buy a new server--a DEDICATED server!!

All this slowness will soon be gone, and it'll be lightning fast! I am ordering the parts now, and should have it built by next week.

I went ahead and upgraded the forum software, so if you see 'missing' items, such as the RANK images and stuff, don't worry, they will be back. one good thing is that they added the Smilie mod, so I don't have to install that one.. but the RANK Mod will need to be added, and a few other items as well.

This new version added lots of new things:

- Make a Poll post (Anyone can do it) Just don't abuse this new item [img]smile.gif[/img]

- Who's Online is back

- Preview Post

- Many more items (LOT'S OF SECURITY options now--I can track trolls 200% better!! Muhahah..

Hang in there, I went ahead and did the upgrade HOPING that it somehow would help the forum run faster--since it'll be a week or so until I get the NEW server installed.. I am hoping this will buy me time. This newer version does cache better.

Anyway, I'm going to go work on the RANK mod now, I miss it.. I may wait until we get the new server before I install it--to save CPU usage on this current server.

Woohooo!! (Notice how I've been extra happy since the boards came back) Cheers Ziroc, now we can get back to the good old days, and Neb can carry on ~~spamming~~ making insightful and meaningful posts.

And there was much rejoicing...

Seriously Z, thanks for all you've done with this. IW is still, by far and away, the best place to hang around. So thanks for all of your work in making it stay that way!
