I run a few community type sites, one similar in size as this one. Forum Pruning helps, turning off the search function is another. As for getting rid of forum sigs and stuff...it takes away from the fun.

This is a great site with a good size user base. You should be able to make it profitable somehow. I created a calgary community site because I didn't know this one already existed; else I wouldn't have wasted my time. www.flames-hockey.com . Turns out there are quite a few now that the calgaryflames.com shut down their forum. I have a high powered server with my company that is highly highly unused. If you continue to have cost problem pm me and I'll see what I can do.

Sell add space, more google adds, etc. I've even seen some sites where they kinda slip adds automatically into the forum. its a little ugly on the eyes but it might be enought to pay for the cost of running the site.

php-5.0.4-10.5
mysql-4.1.16-1.FC4.1
and apache 2.0.54-10.3

OK, for the first time in a while I'm getting the 'Server is busy' messages again.

Are we on the new server?

Not yet, pho can talk about it better then I can but there has been major holds-ups on the colocation side. We physically have the server but it isnt hooked up yet.

Any update on the server at all.

Love the site and have no problem giving a few bucks to help out. But getting the 'server is busy' on July 11th is a tad annoying..........just wondering what's going on with the new server.

Sure!

The business wheels have apparently done their job and everything is a go. The only remaining hurdle is the physical installation of the environment that our server will ultimately go into. That starts this week so hopefully very soon after that (next week possibly?).

Sorry this has taken so long, but unforseen changes combined with a desire to wait for the better long term solution precipitated the long wait.

Not yet, the rack apparently wasn't constructed properly so the rails didn't fit.

I don't know what it is I have the rack server curse; I have yet to do any kind of rack server work without something going wrong.

Anyway, it's in now and running, so now I just have to do a test copy of the environment over to make sure stuff works. Once I've done that, then it'll be ready to go and do the switch!

Just another update.

Server is up and running in the rack, and it looks like everything has been set up. I'm doing a few more tests and a dry run export/import, and if that goes then we just have to set a cut over date.

Tentative date is next Tuesday as I'm away this weekend.

Yay!

So getting the new server up and running was much like Nilson's injury. Everybody wanted him/it for the playoffs, but realistically the only true answer was he/it would be ready sometime in 2006.

Ok.. had a bit of a set back with the colocation provider unfortunately and our home looks to be a month or two away.

This feels like the Neverending Story except there's no Luck Dragon.

teamchachi was looking for a temporary home for the server though so I'm hoping the move is still a go (will find out soon).

Not that I'm aware of, it's been super fast for me pretty much since we got the new server running. Sometimes a page will load slow in IE but that's the Ad server servers being slow.
