Short downtime due to Datacenter maintenance

Well the upgrade/replacement of web1 finally came crashing down and left a smoking crater in it's wake. Luckily I ad a second webserver, web3, with only a few domains on it as a standby. Utilizing my own backup system I moved all of the accounts from web1 to web3. If you can see this dns has...

The new server is dying...and we do not know if it is hardware or software. right now the server is uploading at 10 megabits and below..sometimes as low as 2 megabits. This weekend we are going to try dumping hte server and reloading it. If that fails i am going to revert back to the previous...

Hey could someone let your guild leader know your domain is expired?

I have not heard form anyone of performance problems but I wanted to check in with the community to double check. CGA has a rather large footprint but with the Xenforo software package the resource usage was and continues to be astonishingly low. Feel free to pm me if you notice any kind of...

I knew Xenforo was fast but once i saw it at it's new home it's stupidly quick. I am curious how everyone else thinks the site "feels" since the move to the new server?
