Well I moved the server...partially. Unfortunately I had an issue moving the database, so right now the site is on the new server but the DB is still being served from the old server. This sadly means the site performance will be slower than before! I'll attempt to move the DB again later...
Well I did buy this Triple Triad game from Decado:

Not sure how that compares to your card game suggestion however.
The skin may or may not work, if it does work there will probably be some stuff broken. We'll have to...
Posting will be disabled during the move. When it is open again it means the move was done.
Card game?
Well, pretty much everything other than the shoutbox and RPG. I can reinstall new plugins to replace any that people particularly miss, but it wouldn't be immediately.
There may be some...
Sometime in the next few days - perhaps tonight, tomorrow, or the day after - the site will be changing servers. This will lead to downtime overnight. The forums will be disabled, and it may take time for the DNS to update.
Note that the vbulletin will also be upgraded, which means the current...
The load issues from Monday should just be a temporary thing, the server screwed up while I was compressing a large file. If it continues let me know.
This is definitely weird, no idea what's going on here.
I have no clue what is going on that could possibly cause this :confused:
Perhaps he could try changing his username then.
I suppose we could maybe make a new account but edit the stats for it?
"Think for yourself, question authority" - brilliant fucking sig for an admin to have :rofl:
Sabotaging yourself with your own signature...I'm questioning now if we've picked the brightest bulb in the socket :P
The server runs its backup scripts at midnight eastern. That's most likely the culprit. Not much to be done I think since it would be unwise to disable those. If it's for more than a few minutes let me know.
There's not really any particularly important features an upgrade will offer, I was more worried about security concerns witht the virus stuff. But I've dealt with that for now, and that didn't have anything to do with security holes that any upgrade could fix.
Concerning the cost, hassle, and...
Sorry didn't see this thread earlier.
I doubt it's the RPG, although I can't say for sure. I have a few other sites on this server that might be causing that. If there's a real problem let me know.
The server wouldn't "adjust" to high load and such, load is either high or it's not.
The $175 cost is obviously not something I'd be looking forward to, but as others have said it's mainly an issue of the mods, skin, and RPG. I had believed the RPG would stop functioning if we went to 3.8 - but it seems based on this thread that it may in fact work, just be buggy?
I was...
I had the RAM upgraded a couple days ago. Things have been smooth since then, there was a hiccup earlier today due to more table fragmentation, which keeps happening every so often it seems. Things should be mostly smooth though.
Can't figure out why this table fragmentation stuff is happening...
The big problems yesterday were caused by me asking support to look into the lag, and them messing with some table with caused fragmentation. This led to all sorts of problems, as trying to repair the table increased load which messed up a table...eventually mysql had to be shut down to repair...
I want to take a sledgehammer to this fucking thing. This new server is marginally (or more than marginally) superior to the old one in pretty much every way, yet completely craps out for one-two+ hours every day causing me loads of work, and my host's techs haven't yet been able to truly...
Server's been having downtime lately due to various things I've been attempting to do. These may reoccur for a few more days but shouldn't be long-term.
