THE RETURN

WHY ARE WE SCREAMING

Sals! It's 2019. Crazy to think how long we've stuck around here... assuming we're even here... It's been such a long time since this forum was really active, but I just want to tell everyone that reads this thanks for all the great times we had here - even the memories I don't remember. This was and still is a great community! Let's just use this topic to reminisce on our favorite forum memories, the importance of this forum to us, and other sentimental stuff.

Hey there everyone! Believe it or not, the site and forum have been living on the same sever for more than a decade! In computer years, that's like 100 million and 3 years, give or take a year or 2 million. Basically, the forum is being served by a Stegosaurus, or something like that. It also turns out that a comet is about to destroy the very part of the datacenter housing our server, so there's that tiny detail too. Anyways, the server is really, really old, and it's living in a really old building that's about to be demolished pretty soon. Seriously, this is all true, I promise! So, I've spent a lot of time building a new server environment elsewhere which should be easier to maintain and upgrade, and it should cost a lot less to run! It also seems to run a bit faster/smoother, and we'll have the benefit of running on all the latest and greatest server software! I'm planning on running the final part of the migration on Wednesday, 9/26, which is basically the part where the forum database is moved over to the new server. My plan is to take the board offline on Wednesday night, copy over the database, run the final maintenance steps, and then update the DNS to point to the new server. For you, this update should be completely painless, except for the fact that the forum will be offline for awhile (oh noes?). I'll update this topic when the work is complete! If you have questions, or just want to post pictures of your favorite dinosaurs to celebrate the life (and impending shutdown) of the old server, please do so in this topic! Cheers, Sal

One day when you feel like checking back in the only people that will be here are robots. They are kind I do imagine and will take you in as one of their own and treat you with respect and dignity.

NO U!

I really didn't want to see this comment die but it was dead-on-arrival.
