    I'm not sure when I hear more complains.... when the site goes down from overloading, or from having software in place that keeps the server from overloading by putting up a "Server Busy" message. B)

    At any rate, the problems *should* end after tonight. Tonight around midnight I'm going to shut down the forums and we will be moving PriusChat over to a new server with better specs and professional management. I'm sure the cost will be worth it, as it will take me out of the server upkeep game (which I hate), and enable me to focus on other PriusChat-related activities.

    So, if tomorrow you try to come to PriusChat and can't access it for whatever reason, try rebooting your cable modem first - that should refresh which DNS servers your ISP is pointing to. If you continue to have problems, drop me an email - [email protected]. There might be some quirky things going on for the first few days after the migration, so please bear with me and report them in a "Bug" thread that I'll start.

    Let's hope this goes well!

    Thanks, Danny. I appreciate all the time you must spend in what I'm guessing is mostly a thankless job.

    Thanks Danny!

    Just out of curiosity, my CamryChat name has never been recovered/resurrected after the update. It wants me to sign up again.

    ...I'm taking the server out back and shooting it.

    Images of Office Space dance through my head.

    Tony... you're the guy we're gonna have to pull back when he goes ballistic on the old server, right? :p

    at any rate, that's one less distraction for me tonight, i have had a million things going on and no time to prepare for my committee meeting.

    so thanks Danny, for multiple reasons :lol:

    We'll complain either way. I'm thinking up a whole new bunch of complaints for the new server as soon as it's up. :D

    My complaint is:
    Where is that "DONATE" button for everyone who has a complaint about a free site to be able to help provide a solution? ;)

    Good luck with the upgrade danny.

    I'll be taking the site down around midnight ET tonight, just FYI - so you have a couple of hours to get your PC fix in!

    Tideland - I'll take a look into your account.

    Thanks everyone!
