New server move - TONIGHT 19th July
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2022 4:40 pm
So we've updated the software, we are slowly getting near on 20 years of content indexed within Google and thus the site is getting busier and busier.
I'm hoping to move the site to a new dedicated server next week
We can't hang about... for example
'Most users ever online was 158 on Thu Jul 14, 2022 1:54 pm'
There were over 100 users online at 6.30am this morning - a lot of traffic will result in nothing but if it means more enthusiasts find us and think they'll fit in then that's good - it also means better exposure for our valued supporters plus back links which which will help their own websites.
But we need to move onto a bigger box! I'll let you know on here and on Facebook when this will take place
Hopefully you shouldn't experience any downtime as such - the site will be set up on the new server and it will then switch over - however the forum will be going into maintenance mode late one night next week whilst this happens so we don't lose any posts or registrations during the move.
Hope this makes sense.
