New Server!

[hunter]

The site has been moved to a new server cluster.

This means faster everything and we hope you enjoy!

It was 13 hours of work on Saturday and another 20 on Sunday but it was worth it - onward and upward!

Great job! I was wondering how you could get something like that done in 30-40 minutes!! :)

[hunter]

Yeah, the process took MUCH longer than that, I just tried to minimize downtime.

Some folks with slow, non-compliant DNS servers (CAN YOU HEAR ME AOL?) may have had a longer delay but there's not much that can be done when folks choose not to play by the rules. Another reason why us Internet types aren't that fond of AOL. Anyway...

Hope you guys enjoy the new speed - it will give us plenty of room to grow.

I'm one of those people that believes AOL is a tool of the antichrist, :D so I understand! Everything seems to be running smoothly and quickly, so once again, great job!!! I know how little things can go wrong and end up taking forever to find and seconds to fix. :)

Regarding AOL, I couldn't have said it better myself. :-)

For a day and a half (I think), I kept getting the message "It's Working", now I'm glad it really is!

[hunter]

Yeah, that would indicate a slowly updating DNS server... And it's also why we picked a holiday weekend when most folks aren't on the computer - very low traffic volume.

Thanks, Hunter.

Folks might also try holding down 'Ctrl' (Windoze) when they refresh to have it bypass the cache and get a new, fresh copy of the page.

AOL caching is a joke - they sometimes hold on to a page for 2 days when the cache header is set to 'no cache'.
