We will be working on the server over the next day so there will be down time occasionally so be prepared. Usually any downtime will only last 10 minutes. We will be making changes so expect some glitches. We will come back faster, cleaner and no more downtime. Sit tight, everything will be 100%.
 
You mean I cannot refresh my "New Posts" search in my normal intervals of every 5mins?! Thank god for Angry Birds!
 
I was wondering why it kept coming up "empty" when I tried to get on. Thanks for the heads-up Mike.

No problem, just trying to make things more secure here so everyone has a faster, more pleasurable forum.

Copy that.

Well it seems it is still running sub-par. We need to look further into it. For some reason traffic is being blocked via stray history files. I have no clue how to fix this, we have people working on it but it was supposed to be fixed and low and behold the forum crashed again. If there are any php/code guys that understand v-bullitan and want to help please let me know.

Yeah it was pretty haywire today! It would seem things are back and running normal again for the most part. It would have only been down for short periods of time like you had stated originally usually that is the case, it is corrected in a matter of moments.
 
I fukkin' hate computers.
I'm such a neanderthal; if I had my way we'd be scratchin' big dick pictures on the back of cave walls by torchlight and learnin' Penis Enlargement that way.

I hate computers.

I couldn't agree with you more! With the smallest click you could completely ruin your life, you can't hide from anything regretful in your past its like a way to highlight anything you have done, something you would have never even considered to be viewed as negative and when you least expect it BAM its there to ruin your life. I was watching tv the other night and a commercial was on about wives who were divorcing their husbands with files on their computer from watching teen girl ���� to prosecute them as "pedophiles" as pressing legal charges. Not to mention enough advertisements to consume all the energy on my motherboard to block the smooth flow of accomplishing anything of importance in a respectful decent manor.

I push to have MOS promoted in real life!:) Bathmate does it in Europe at conventions. Honestly it has its positives otherwise I'd be out living an uninterrupted 3 dimensional life. If I was the computer savvy type I'd probably just know all the tricks and have the software to use an easier system online- but I'm not, have never been. Music has always been my thing and I would show up to the studio and the computer guys would have it all worked out for me. All my money went into instruments, all the people around me have always shared a computer I hope when I get my own it has a little more of the upside.

Thank you for that and you are correct it has been rough, but everything should be 100% by days end.

We have purchased a new, much faster server with a huge ram increase. The new server will be much faster, more stable and a better experience for all. The forum may go up and down until it propagates to new server. We have also hired a full time server expert to help with daily backups, updates, forum glitches, php and database repair, etc. Alex, I think it was you that asked if we operate from a home computer, no we have our own dedicated server, we have had this from the beginning. We pay a great deal of money to keep MOS forums open.

With this said donations will be greatly appreciated. This cost will add more than $450 per month. Remember, all these costs come straight from my pockets, help is always great.
 
Hey Mike,
What was that paypal address again?
Just in case somebody wants to donate who has never donated before.

Wow.....sounds like it was a pain in the ass Mike! Sorry it was such a struggle. I'm glad you got it put together and it was a good lesson in patience for all of us.

Glad the forums are back online. Quick mention to the donation link would be cool.
