The server this site is hosted on was upgraded today. There was a short period of downtime (I lied, mr3rdeye didn't really kill the forum). The timezone was broken for a while as well but it's set back on Adelaide time now.

Rather than being on a shared server, we're on a dedicated machine now. For the techheads who care it's a quad core Xeon X3210 with 1GB of ECC RAM (this is plenty for webhosting, the Apache service has been tweaked a fair bit anyway). An Impact DC with Netlogistics.

You should notice a bit better speeds in terms of page load times. :thumbsup:

 Does it have solitaire?
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

So can anyone tell if the site is faster?

Seems so to me but maybe I'm just telling myself that because it's costing me more.

All this high tech shit got me thinking...

Computers can do such amazing things. Really though, it's all just ones and zeros. Now imagine if they added a two!

AM generates less than 1% of what it costs to run server, even though it's one of the top 3 sites I host in terms of traffic/server resources. :)

Can someone reply whose post I can actually read? I just can't read the above posters messages due to his distracting avatar.
