New forum/server update

01-28-2001, 05:58 PM

Just wanted to drop a note on the server and new forum:

Building the new server had to be done, I believe the reason for the slowdown was that the old server could not handle the strain of that many people. (its an old K6 I believe). The new server has a P3/800 in it with 256MB ram with a 40 gig HD. Also instead of NT, it will have Windows 2000 (Not my choice, but its ok I guess). So when the new server is up, loading pages will REALLY be fast.

The Forum is ready, just waiting on the server. we have to copy over ALL the websites and config it which is what takes the most time really, it may be this week that its up, not sure (I have to do it in my spare time) ;-(

I also have some new perl loaders that should fix the problem with any memory issues! (yey!)

looking forward to the new board, and very, really, deeply, truly, greatly, and many other adverblies appreciate the work you put in to make this the only board on the game i even bother with, you have collected a terrific bunch of regulars who never leave you hanging when you're up the creek without a clue. oops, did the ref just throw a flag for illegal metaphor mixing?

We all love you Ziroc !

If your new server or HDD space are not up to the task, I would gladly send you new computer material, they couldn't be put to better use.

And, newbie, I think you should find yourself another pseudo now ...&gt
