ChiefsPlanet (Welcome to the) NEW Chiefsplanet SERVER!!!! - Page 9

OK, the time has finally come... we have a new server!

I will be spending tonight and all day tomorrow transitioning to the new digs... I don't expect it to affect us until late tomorrow afternoon.

I will make give everybody a warning then take us offline for (hopefully!) 3-4 hours...

When we are done, we will have a new home with 6 TIMES the power and RAM as before... I expect to see some MAJOR upgrades in performance... once we have settled into the new server, I will start to prep us for a major upgrade to our Vbulletin software... but that may wait until the post season...

I know it's been a long time coming, but bear with me for a little longer and it will all be worth it!

I'm pretty sure it's going to perform swimmingly. Our server loads are insanely low during normal operation, and our new server can handle even higher loads than the old one without any noticeable difference in the user experience. But we'll see...

This server won't even break a sweat, even after you lose by 30 today

The only 30 we're going to lose today are the seconds it took to respond after reading your worthless post.

Sometimes, sometimes not. Intel manufactures several in the industry, generally Compaq or IBM buy the naming rights, the 3040 and 5148 are what (intel calls) 'step codes' - it's basically a way to BUY Intel's product even if Compaq or IBM have renamed them, the ones that Intel sell are 'generally' way cheaper than that of IBM and Compaq/HP. The codes mean something else as well which is way above my head.

Sometimes they will make the chips specifically for certain servers, yes. But generally 'NO'

Hopefully that's not a cloud-O-dust.

This. The past couple of weeks I hadn't even bothered to try posting during a game.

That's just for non Chiefs fans.

Sure - they'd be banned instantly. But you can't un-send their PM's, so the ban really doesn't do any good there.

(Were you not around when this was a near weekly occurrence?)
