Yes, it might be hard to believe, but finally today I have purchased a new server.
It is its own box with some pretty decent specs, 6 times the bandwidth we need and a 100Mbps speed.
We'll let you know when we're going to lock these servers and move all the data to the new machine. Watch the main site page for details.
Also, do not complain about services interruptions or the forums being down for a few hours or a day because WE BOUGHT A NEW SERVER - SHUT UP!

Re: We Have a New Server!
Want me to grab a backup of the forum database, just in case?
And sicne we're moving, should we consider upgrading to the new version of phpbb 3? (Or at least updating the phpbb 2 install we have now; they're put out some bug fixes since last time.)

Well, they've been more or less shut down for weeks; a few more hours won't kill us.benheck wrote:Also, do not complain about services interruptions or the forums being down for a few hours or a day because WE BOUGHT A NEW SERVER - SHUT UP!

That's not funny...!Thanks for the new server, Ben. It's not like we do anything for you, after all.
Also, I would also like to upgrade to phpBB3. Although, it's pretty new... have they hammered out the inevitable security flaws yet?
