Server Upgrade and Fundraising.

The draft made it painfully clear that we are overdue for a hardware upgrade. The current server is now 4.5 years old and just doesn't cut it on high demand days. It was suggested in this thread that we raise some money and upgrade the server ASAP.. hopefully before training camp.

I have done a ton of research and found a solution that will only increase our monthly costs by $40-$50 but our upgrade costs will be an additional $500 due to running two servers concurrently for a month and setup fees.

So, if anyone is interested, feel free to click the green DONATE button. I will try to make sure everybody that does gets marked as a SUPPORTER but if I miss you, just post here and remind me.

Here is where we are right now...



I'm changing the thermometer graphic so we can see it go up but the actual goal was $500 and hasn't changed. I'll look for a better graphic.

Yeah, it's been pretty much running like ass the past few weeks. I assume he's working on the server in the background, but don't really know.

I've thought about it but I doubt it will do us any good. We really aren;t a static content heavy site so the bottleneck for us will always be the database which is constantly changing so it doesn't lend itself to CDN usage. The new server has a TON more RAM so for awhile at least the db will be worlds better.

Oh, and there are some other tricks I am implementing as well, I'll give a proper update soon.

You post, then it tells you you can't post again even though you hit submit only once.

Then it takes 1-2 minutes to load the page.

Then your crotch itches.
