New Server

[Tru2Chevy]

Well, after dealing with all of the issues that we have had with our current web server, I have done some research and decided that regardless of our current contract, we needed to find a better solution.

We purchased a new server contract with a different company tonight, and will be making plans to move the site as soon as possible. The new hosting company seems to really have their act together, and things should run much more smoothly once the changeover is complete.

We do not have an exact date and time picked yet to complete the switchover, however we will make sure that it is announced at least a few days in advance. Downtime should only be a few hours total while we move the databases from one server to another.


::EDIT::

We have decided to do the switchover this Thursday night, December 14th. The site will be shut down at approximately 5:30 PM, and should be back up within a few hours. If you don't have anything better to do, visit the NJFBOA aim chatroom for up-to-date info on how well the transfer is going.

- JustinTime for dues! :wink:

Coincidentally, tonight I just paid my Team Camaro dues - $19.95. So I will now pay the same amount here (ok, $20 - you don't have a 19.95 option). Go buy some RAM.

It varies often. Must be that you just aren't on when things slow down....

there are a few members who have already donated, and yes, they have user titles that say supporting memeber...or somthing along those lines.

Yea, I actually talked to Epic (one of the two people who is writing all the code for FQuick) and got the code from him. He's using the same thing on his site (fullthrottlev6.com).

It's just a neat bit of code that lets others find you on FQuick easier.

As stated in the "Hoodies/T-Shirts/Donations" sticky, any member who donates $10 or more will receive a "Supporting Member" user title.
