Welcome people to your new home 
What are you talking about I hear you say? Well, we'd come to notice as of late the forum has started to crawl - a victim of our own success you might say - and something had to be done
Well, as of yesterday - we moved into our new home, a nice friendly data centre in the Big Apple - yes, we've setup shop in New York. This means the servers are only a short hop over the pond, rather than a hop over - then across the main land.
But, what's that you say? I said serverS?? Indeed so! No longer is the forum running from one server, but indeed two brand new custom built boxes now power us.
So the specs (if you remember, the old machine was a Dual Xeon 2.8 with 2 Gig of RAM)....
Both machines come in at the following:
Dual Processor Dual Core Intel Woodcrest 5130 (That's the equivilant of 4 CPU's each )
4 GIG of RAM
SATA II RAID 1 on the webserver and SCSI RAID 1 on the database server.
Combined, these should keep the forum zipping along for quite sometime to come.
There are still tweaks and updates to be made, so there may be some erratic behaviour over the next week or so - but if you notice anything else you think shuoldn't be there, please report it using the bug manager.
To 2007 .... :woot:
