John, Actually I believe that it has been since 1998... on your servers, and since 1995 or 96 on the Taiwan servers in its original incarnation... A very long and cheerful association.

I am glad you are not using SMF software... I know several sites that have been hacked in the last week or so... Vbulletin is much better... feature rich and dependable.

It's been ten years?? Actually - I think you may be right..??!!! That John - makes BOTH of us REALLY OLD!!!! HEH!!!

Anyway....

Yea - I actually had to re-purchase the vB license last week - as for the life of me - I couldn't find the one I bought 6-7 years ago for LugerForum? Go figure... Also - here is the new server specs/circuit...

The new server sits in my office (above my garage - I'm a Porsche freak so I have a pretty nice garage - and upstairs are finished offices.. Circuits I have are 30MBs up/down Fiber, two T1s, a muxed SDSL at 5MBs, and a single SDSL (from my FQDH and mail servers..)..

As for the actual server??? The new server is a Core 2 Quad (4 processors @ 2.33GH), 8GB of memory, RAID1 SATA drives at 10,000RPM spindles and a back-up 650GB SATA. That's connected to a 1GB internal LAN (NAT) and goes through some extensive firewall routers - and gets linked to the 30MB fiber circuit...

Darn - if this thing goes down - it will put my neighborhood into a blackout...

Best to you John!!! You've been there since the days in Taiwan - and yep - it's been a long time, I guess??



Ready to do this migration (again - how many times over the years???)...!!!

OK - tonight we'll do it...

My Best to you!
