Popular Post Travis Posted May 20, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Holy Cow! We Made It! We finally made the switch over to a new server! I want to thank everybody for your patience. I'm really sorry it took so long to get things back on track. I know it really sucks not being able to log in, browse, and chat with fellow scrollers. I assure you, I was just as frustrated as you were, and I thank you for sticking by me. Because you're reading this, it means we're on a new server. What does that mean? It means the website will be faster and more adaptive to traffic spikes. We still have to monitor our CPU usage. So it will be somewhat locked down for guest browsers, but I'll slowly start opening thing up for folks not logged in. But I have to be careful, I don't want to get the site suspended again. So I'll be slow and steady. I'm going to also upgrade our service plan, so we have a little more headroom during traffic spikes. It's basically the highest package plan without going to a dedicated server, which is crazy expensive. So I hope it doesn't come to that. Anyway, welcome to our new digs. I'm hoping you don't see anything different, because that means it went well. But if something comes up, you can leave a message in the forum or shoot me a message by clicking Contact Us at the bottom of the forum. You can also email me at travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com Thanks everybody for your patience. While painful, it was necessary and will protect us in the future.

Would I update the software? Yes. I pretty much had to do that. Being behind on software upgrades will eventually bite you. And It kinda did to me. I wasn't horribly out of date, but it was getting bad and really needed to be done. Plus, if I didn't upgrade, SSV probably would be no more. I'm going to be better with sofware updates in the future. Would I switch servers? I guess time will tell. Right now, all I can think of is how much of a PITA it was. Moving servers is always fraught with problems. I've had to do that twice before, and each time sucked. But I'm hoping this new server will fill our needs much better and I don't find any new issues. --crossing fingers-- Scrolling Steve, jbrowning and WayneMahler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaughn Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Welcome back, Travis. Maalox and Alka Seltzer sales go through the roof whenever enterprise software upgrades are involved. Server changes, however require something stronger............ Glad you are up and running. Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
