TF and TH are MOVED to NEW HOME(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: Larry Hi EVERYONE!!! While this has been a LOOONNNNGGGG time coming... we moved the site to its OWN dedicated server with a "reliable" hosting provider :) YES... this site is on its OWN box!!!! and will basically only host this site (we might add a few others) You should (or hopefully) notice a nice improvement in speed and performance. FINALLY!!! :D The old hosting provider SUCK!!!! They gave horrible support and the up time and problems and other stuff.... well, they just sucked! I'm so RELIEVED to be off that old server. I know a few issues might arise (links or path issues, etc), but PLEASE post them here I will be fixing them ASAP Posted by: ekĘsine so you finally found another host, great work Larry :) i had the suspicion when i got the "we are doing work on the site" message, it was kinda obvious to me. so now we can badmouth Viper all we want eh? yeah they did suck a lot Posted by: HoLoCroN Thanks Larry for your efforts and improvements to this site. We know it takes alot of time and dedication but it definitely is worth it, it adds that special quality that all of us look for in a forum. Thanks again and keep up the good work. P.S. Viper SUCKS! :) Posted by: rookie1010 who is Viper? Posted by: Lone Wolf Ya see back in the 80's there was this great TV show with a macho TV star. He always wore black... had this really bad haircut that he "thought" was soooo cool. Really looked like he just got careless w/ his curling iron. And he drove around in a black car that he called "Kit". Occasionally you could see the car talk back to him and shoot some missiles and stuff... but nothing special. His show was later cancelled and he was caught stalking girls on the beach. Oops!..err.....sorry, wrong show. Nevermind. Posted by: DMo224 Good summation Wolf! :p Nice change Larry. It seems that everything is working correctly. I can even log in with both urls! :cool: Dave :D Posted by: mac_mogul Oh yeah, I've noticed a HUGE increase in speed! My dial up iMac is having an absolute ball surfing the site now!:D Great work Larry, glad you've got things going your way!:) Posted by: Qiranworms Nice. :cool: Out of curiousity...what's the server got? Specifications-wise, that is... Posted by: Excellent news! - and certainly has been a long time coming. Hopefully there'll be only a few minor hiccups which should show themselves sooner rather than later. But hopefully none at all! Woo - Hoo! Paaaaaaaaartay! Posted by: Larry the new box is: 2.4 celeron chip 1 gig of memory 80 gig ATA HD :) Posted by: mikesgroovin No....seriously.....what are the specs of the TF server? LOL..... Kidding, On a serious note....thats all you need! I host (to this day) an FTP site for music that gets 20 downloads a day (AVG) but it's a nice little 466MHz that does't complain. Posted by: rookie1010 a celeron is good enough to be a server? Posted by: hilowe The new celeron's aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. Plus, it's only hosting this site, not 20 other high traffic sites. Posted by: mikesgroovin [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by rookie1010 [/i] [B]who is Viper?
