New Servers Are In?

Chong

Just a quick question cloud, devore, regi, vexorg and ecksor I was just wondering seen as the new servers have arrived when will they be installed and I imagine we will have some crazy downtime so I kinda wanna prepare myself for such an event. Also I thought we could inform everyone of the sister sites so they can still have somewhere to post.

Btw everyone these are the sister sites during the the installation of the new servers. Although in saying that these are quality websites so maybe you might get to like them and frequent them more often even after the downtime.

Boards.us
Boards.jp
Boards.co.nz

regi

We'll have the luxury of being able to test before we move over. Downtime should be minimal, and it'll probably happen next week. If you are on the ball, and check out the IRC channel, you'll get info the fastest.

Chong

Nice one Regi appreciate the info. I always fear the loss of the site with boards I would be lost.

Chong

Lol damn straight Cult no matter what website I frequent compares to Boards.ie . I always keep a permanent window open whilst browsing the web.

Hagar

Stick up some photos of the new servers for us to worship

Heres a rather foolish suggestion, Now I don't expect this to be done, but if this was a compulsory pay site, Why not upgrade during the downtime during 5.00AM that occurs naturally anyway. I don't expect this to happen or anything but isn't this the sort of thing for instance the likes of RTE.ie or CNN.com would do ? Anyway fellas keep up the good work and i for one do appreciate the service even though I'm temporarily banned from some forums.

You mean, a bunch of guys running the site voluntarily, relying on donations\advertising and paying the rest out of their own pockets, and would probably have to take time out of jobs\real life to get the upgrade done, should behave like a professional site, where people get paid? With money?

Yeah, sure why not.

Well if you want to pay Regi enough to be up at 5am, fire away.

Regi was it €10k?

Regi, how about just making it go live at 5am?

DeVore

This thread is teh funneh for lots of reasons.

Thats a big bloody if.

It's not, so no offense, shut up and stop whinging.

Christ, "this is a free site, but nevertheless the owners should get up at the most godforsaken hour as to not unconvience my ability to post my pointless complaining about how this site works."

Never have so few complained about so little for so long.

I'm temporarily banned from some forums.

Lucky forums.

Then why post it!?
Would you get out of bed at 5am drive to 365 and upgrade the system just so a bit of downtime could be avoided?...crazy ass

At least all i ever asked for was a 5am backup!

Sparky

well if im on 365, i wouldnt mind 10k for driving 500mtrs down the road.

Maybe we should lynch him. I've got a good bit of rope going to waste here..

I know of one throat-applicable Rope going to waste on IRC every night and posting ludicruous comics in Digital Art / Design ¬_¬

netwhizkid

Get the Tar ready fellas, I was making my post to highlight my appreciation of this site and the people who make it possible, As for my suggestion i did say it was foolish and i made it as a humorous thing and i hope it wasn't taken too seriously although i think it was unfortunately, no pun intended. I accept that people think I'm a bit dopey, heck i think that myself sometimes, but why the constant negative attitude towards me, I contribute the best i can and i have got in involved in big debates and have been on both sides of the fence Winning and losing, but that's life. And for those who dislike me i say this: I accept this and will work towards getting more people to like me. Rather than go off topic anymore, Great work with the servers and it is great to see the "Search" feature back again.

PS. ease off the wetpisskid jokes as it is hurtful

I support you Netwhizkid. People are too harsh on you. Some of the users think that just because they have a superior post count they can make fun of you. Its happened me and those people are dicks.

Its nothink personal like, its just that, well, you suck.

Sorry, but how is this true? Some of my closest friends on boards have small postcounts, and some people I can't stand have ginormous ones, I think the same probably applies for everyone.

I'd say that NetWhizKid is probably a lovely guy in real life, but some of his posts just smack of absolute bull. He comes accross as condescending and naive at the same time. It's not really a good mix. At the end of the day, we all piss someone off, no matter how irrational their reasoning. NetWhizkid, I hope you never took anything I said about you personally.

That's alright shabadu...i can't stand you either

Netwhizthingy, if you want people to like you, stop attempting to be condescending. You don't have the knowledge to pull it off. (I somehow feel the need to be even ruder and more abrasive than usual, if that be possible, to suit my new avatar.)

Ona vaguely related note, I must say I'm feeling happy right now, as my least favourite homophobe on boards has been banned.

And back on topic, barely, can we expect the search feature back after the upgrade? I enjoy using it to check up on people.

Best way for you to contribute is not to contribute at all. That way you wont have people on your case all the time.

Maybe if you cop'd how dumb you come off, suggesting that the owners of a site you're barely tolerated on (as the responses would suggest) should drag themselves out of bed, at 5am as to not inconvience you, is the sort thing that a friend or acquanitance or someone who regards you with at least polite indifference, could get away with, but not you.

Now seeing as you're using a free service that they're tolerating your presence on, your attitude just sucked. I would suggest that learning, very quickly, when and to whom it is suitable for you to joke around with, quickly, with an attitude like yours, combined with your inability to percieve how your comments could be interpretated, is something you need to fix and fast, lest you find yourself in a gutter outside a pub trying to pick up your teeth.

Again, I'm really surprised you've never been bullied r/t. Never tell a bully what hurts you. You're expecting a level of decorum and politeness from people you've "jokingly" suggested get up at five am to suit your wants and needs and are hurt when you're treated with contempt? Grow up kid. Fast.

^^^^^^OUCH, that had to hurt.
