New Server

***Ynot Shane*** · 04-30-2008, 08:13 PM

If you're seeing this, you are on the new server. Compared to the last upgrade, this is a lot more significant. The previous server was a single processor Pentium Duo. The new one is a dual processor dual core Woodcrest at nearly double the speed, with double the RAM, along with upgraded software that should further help with performance. I believe everything was transferred without issue, but let me know if anything pops up.

This should help to continue to allow VGF to expand and minimize issues we have been having lately with downtime. Currently, only VGF.com is on the new server. The affiliate sites will be moved over during the next few days.

Can a certain Plaza of vb be on this new server?

***Ynot Shane*** · 04-30-2008, 08:23 PM

I'm not at liberty to discuss any admin forum leaks.

**Valigarmander** · 04-30-2008, 08:37 PM

Crap.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 04-30-2008, 09:59 PM

Neither am I.

VBPlaza? My main complaint was the amount of crud you couldn't turn off that would fill the user info pane.

That said, I can always greasemonkey those things into oblivion if they annoy me.

Robotazy · 04-30-2008, 10:08 PM

The only reason I'd want VBPlaza, is to abuse the Username change to oblivion

Metal Man · 04-30-2008, 10:10 PM

Yeah, I used to like username changing. That's how all those old accounts popped up when Shane merged stuff.

I half wonder if they can be renamed to Metal Man (most importantly, MetalMadMan) so the link can be made properly.

Then again, it doesn't really matter, now that I have a less elegant-but-functional one made out of friending my old names.

Ah, this explains the post disappearances, I guess.

**Valigarmander** · 04-30-2008, 11:57 PM

HOW.

***Ynot Shane*** · 05-01-2008, 06:26 AM

Half the stuff that used to be in the username field was from unrelated hacks.

Jay's post is full of whine.

**Crazyswordsman** · 05-01-2008, 10:49 AM

It's against my religion....and the religion of VGF, to criticize the great Jay. -CSM

Robotazy · 05-01-2008, 10:52 AM

CRITICIZE!

Luigiman7 · 05-01-2008, 07:35 PM

all we need now is the VbPlaza (I want to give my name preety colors

and name changes and gift-giving), and this so-called Groan button, and I will be happy.
