Title: Server Move
Post by: AJ Collins on August 30, 2013, 10:55:30 PM
Hey everyone,

Over the past few days you may have noticed a number of errors and performance issues. This was due to a host of ours moving us over to a "more powerful" server that was actually the opposite and caused more issues. The host then tried to tell us that it's our fault and decided to put limits on our account.

Fed up, I've moved us over to another host. The cost is a few bucks more a month but it should be worth it in terms of performance since the server runs on SSDs and utilizes CloudFlare Railgun. The transition hasn't gone as smoothly as I would have liked it to but I've been working to get everything fixed.

If you notice any issues with the site, let me know. Also I need everyone to report how fast things are loading. This will be me evaluate the host to see if it's worth the extra money.

I know it's frustrating having the site go down like this and I apologize for it. I hate it too as it's more time taken away from my focus on College and enjoying what free time I have. Hopefully once this is all over everything will be rock solid.

Cheers,
AJ

Man, you don't have to be apologetic about anything, you run this shit for us, if anything, you should be pissed off at how we take it for granted & use this place almost solely to argue between one another. Keep up the good work & don't feel sorry for inconveniencing us, if anything, some people here need to spend more time off the forums!

Thanks everyone! How's the performance so far? It should get even better in a few hours once CloudFlare Railgun is enabled.

In the past hour or so the site should have gotten a little bit faster. Anyone notice at all?

I can easily browse the site while torrenting, which took me quite a bit of patience before, so there is a noticeable improvement indeed.

Yeah sorry about that. RockstarNexus is getting absolutely hammered today because of the exclusive GTAV screenshot. :P I've enabled DDoS protection on both, hopefully it'll help.

I really appreciate you put this up for us. And if you ask me you don't get the appreciation you deserve for it.
So I want to leave this to you
