A false start

    We made a bit of a false start... we rushed the board a little bit, trying to ready it for the podcast. We forgot to look at essential things such as bandwidth issues... bangHead.gif

    So yeah... our current hosting is not adequate for our needs so we're running on a tight bandwidth limit. I do not know exactly how long this will last, but I'm already making efforts to move our board. Except this move to happen this weekend or next week. After that we'll be truly without bandwidth issue.

    So for now, enjoy the board while it lasts.

    I will post an announcement soon about when we will move host, to warn you guys when I'm going to shut down the board for maintenance.

    Thanks for your patience smile.gif

    no, the change will be completely transparent to the users. The address is upsb.info and it always will be.

    Hmm, maybe a dumb question but how long would it take to move the entire forum over to a new host?

    IT would just be importing a mysql database, then applying any modifications and the skin.

    That doesn't really answer his question...

    Ok, so are we still being hosted by the same person? He allowed us to continue to use the bandwidth?

    they are probably paying something like 5 dollars for every extra gigabyte till they switch. If there was A donate button I would donate!
