===============
OP

We're moving the site today to a shared host to save some scratch. Hopefully it goes at least relatively smoothly and hopefully you don't notice much of a hit in performance once back up. . . .

Once this move is sorted, we'll be embarking on some upgrades in functionality.

Will there be pie?!

Only for you.

Just a quick question....why is motorgen hosted in iran?

:picard:

Probably more like later today or tomorrow. Moving from a fully dedicated co-located server to a shared system presents numerous configuration hurdles.

You had a fully Dedicated server for the site? What else did you have running on the server?


See this is why i'm glad I run my own server and my own stupid robust network (a cisco 2600 is a little much for 10 computers)

It was (is) our own phsyical server that we built and installed at a pretty high end data center. nothing ran on it other than MG, which is why even when there's been a couple hundred people on the site, there's virtually no difference in performance (depending on what connection you have). At work I have a ridiciulous high speed, I get disk access speeds to MG, about 9MBs/sec. Not nomore though. But we don't really make any money and that cost about $100/month, and Sean and I are in tight phase let's say. :nuts:

Not bad at all, My work is stuck with a T1, and i get about 60/10 at home (max for my cable company and fiber is just a bit to much money to have them pull it the last 1000 feet to my house)



Yes I have a full 4 post rack in my house

If you guys ever need some donations to help keep the boat afloat I think I can chip in something every now and then.

That's normal. . .


Thank you for your consideration. We'd like to maybe come up with some benefits package or something for members that might be worth something in exchange, like a "Gold Member" etc. But we have to have some scale before this would have any appeal to supporting vendors really. It's always a chicken and the egg problem. Also, the big idea a little later is to start organizing and promoting larger scale events, track days and what not that may be slightly more remunerative. In any event. We ain't going anywhere. :drink:
