Re: Show your appreciation for Rich!
Aw, thanks Dale and everyone. I'm happy to help out when I can. It's pretty amazing to see that the forums are still going strong after... holy cow, eleven and a half years???... and even though I don't play much anymore I still have a bag of whistles I pull out every once in a while.

Re: A word on the technical status of the forum.
Just jumping in with a quick update here. Dale and I have been in touch to figure out what to do next, it's mostly just that whole Bad Time Of Year thing. What's going on at Dreamhost, as best as I can tell, is the combination of several things: a shared MySQL configuration that's not doing the site...

^ This sounds like a good plan. I'll add it to the list.

Re: Where's my avatar? (Never mind..found the link to re-submit)
99% of avatars moved fine. The remaining 1% should be there now, but weren't there between this morning and a few minutes ago. Sorry about that. (Boring details: I'd done a test run of the migration a couple weeks ago, and when I went to do the real migration on Friday, I brought over the current da...

Forum upgrade, new URL, and Rich says farewell
Well, that took a lot more work than expected, but if you're reading this then we're up and running on the latest version of the forum software and we're at a new home and URL! As always, if you notice any problems please let us know. There are a bunch of new features and changed interfaces and so o...

Server move last night
Just a heads-up -- I moved the forums from Dreamhost to my Linode virtual server around midnight last night. The new host ought to be plenty fast and reliable, but the forums are the biggest site on there now so there might be a couple of bumps while I get things tuned right. If you run into any pro...

I'm still here, and have some plans but probably no time to execute them for a few days, at least. See here, which admittedly doesn't say anything I didn't just say here!

Performance issues/errors
All, My apologies for the board's awful performance and occasional errors over the last few days. I think we've outgrown Dreamhost at this point. I'm looking into alternatives. (And please note that there will be a bit of short-notice downtime when I go to use one of those alternatives sometime in t...

Apologies for the downtime today -- apparently our good friends at Dreamhost are having some <a href="http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2008/03/25/problem-with-central-services-panelwebmail-etc/">issues</a>. I suspect we haven't seen the last of the problems following <a href="http://www...

Use adblock. It's pretty impractical for me to filter out a single ad. I couldn't even manage to get it to deliver the ad to me to find out which advertiser to filter out, which makes me think there aren't a whole lot of people seeing it in the first place -- and it's not just impractical, but compl...
