Hi all

I am hoping to move us over to the new servers in the next couple of days. At some point the site will go down and will then likely take some time for DNS to re-propogate to the new servers etc so the site may appear down for a couple of days. I am hoping to make this as painless as possible and thank you all in advance for your patience!

 I hope you guys are putting your SQL database on a box doing nothing else but hosting that SQL database.

Do it starting tomorrow. I will be traveling for the weekend and wouldn't be able to get online anyways. since this fits my schedule that is when you should to it. Obviously I am the only one that matters here anyways. ;)

how does a site get a hit by the way, is it just each time someone goes to the main page or does it track the IP or is it every VGC page opened?

because if its the first of those three then tabbed browsing must lower the hits on a site like this because you can keep the main page open and browse the site elsewhere in a new tab.

Well I actually think I might leave it for the weekend now and do it on Monday. So I'm going to make all the preparations in the background and I'd imagine it will be down for most of Monday. Please let everyone else know!

It's your fault ioi, for making this site so addictive.

I'll say it again - I'm more than happy to "directly" contribute to the running of the site (i.e. PayPal or other). I don't visit (or see ads), so its the only way I can throw some money back to the site for running costs.

But of course its great if the site ends up completely paying for itself through ads.

Thanks for the advance warning.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
