New Server
 

Well, after dealing with all of the issues that we have had with our current web server, I have done some research and decided that regardless of our current contract, we needed to find a better solution.

We purchased a new server contract with a different company tonight, and will be making plans to move the site as soon as possible. The new hosting company seems to really have their act together, and things should run much more smoothly once the changeover is complete.

We do not have an exact date and time picked yet to complete the switchover, however we will make sure that it is announced at least a few days in advance. Downtime should only be a few hours total while we move the databases from one server to another.


::EDIT::

We have decided to do the switchover this Thursday night, December 14th. The site will be shut down at approximately 5:30 PM, and should be back up within a few hours. If you don't have anything better to do, visit the NJFBOA aim chatroom for up-to-date info on how well the transfer is going.

PRAISE THE LORD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!! This server is slower than molassis :rofl:

Will it be a lot more money?

:w00t:

Yes, quite a bit more money. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do....

Fundraiser time! :w00t:

ummmm, we have a few. ya know? t-shirts, hoodies, calendars. we also gladly accept donations. :p

Time for dues! :wink:

Coincidentally, tonight I just paid my Team Camaro dues - $19.95. So I will now pay the same amount here (ok, $20 - you don't have a 19.95 option). Go buy some RAM.

:w00t:

this server makes me feel like im still on dial-up :lol:

am i the only one the current server isnt slow for?

It varies often. Must be that you just aren't on when things slow down....

id say its solw for me 75% of the time, now it isnt that bad

not the slow issue that bothers me
just that small factor where it's down for hours at a time

...and here i was thinking it was my computer the whole time

So, are you complainers kicking in for upgraded service? This stuff ain't cheap!

if we donate, would we have a "supporting member" thingy like CZ28 does?

you wanna be special? :lol:

yea sure, why not

there are a few members who have already donated, and yes, they have user titles that say supporting memeber...or somthing along those lines.

Man, I lost my cookies, and forgot my password..........but I found my way back!

...and Tim has me as a supporting member (COOL)!

DT is already special. not in the title sense, more in the little yellow bus and a helmet sense. :p

you forgot the headphones jerk

That's pretty cool how you got the avatars to auto-link up to FQuick.........just noticed that!

Yea, I actually talked to Epic (one of the two people who is writing all the code for FQuick) and got the code from him. He's using the same thing on his site (fullthrottlev6.com).

It's just a neat bit of code that lets others find you on FQuick easier.

As stated in the "Hoodies/T-Shirts/Donations" sticky, any member who donates $10 or more will receive a "Supporting Member" user title.
