Server Issues

Hey everyone,

First off.. SORRY about the site being offline. We've been having some server issues lately related to mysql getting overloaded.. and I have been working with my host to resolve the issues.

It looks like we'll be moving scifi-meshes.com to a brand new server that is dual core, 4gigs of ram, with a 500gig HD. In the next week or so. They are building the server now. As soon as I have any information regarding this or the fix to our current outages.. I will make sure to let everyone know.

Aceman

I was wondering what happened. I'm glad it is being resolved and hopefully we won't have this issue again. Do you know if we will have to register again?

Thanks for the explanation and sorry for all he trouble you had.
The ones among us from back before the big crash were probably all quite worried.
Will the data be migrated or are we looking at a new start again?

Somebody blow something up, I'm in a really bad mood. Thanks in advance.

Worried? Nope - After all, we have "survived" quite a few big and small crashes looking all the way back to SFA. I've personally lost track.

One thing I've learned is to have patience, and appreciate that the admins/Aceman always getting it back online as quickly as possible.

good news indeed, thats some serious firepower in that new server.

does this mean new features, and increased attachment space too?
