Server Update

[blake_sw]

That didn't take very long. So far I can't notice a difference. What are the benefits of the server update?

[Andrew]

It "should" be faster when there are more people on the site!

Are you on a 56k modem?

[blake_sw]

Nope, cable.

[Saiyan_warrior]

Why ya goin to Germany Andrew..Well if you dont mind askin me that? I have a 56k, but for some reason i connect at 28.8k..

[Andrew]

Where are you located blake?

I am going there because I have always wanted to go to Germany!

[Andrew]

Also, was the old server ever slow for you blake?

[blake_sw]

I live in Southern Ontario, Canada.
Actually, it was faster than this. I've already posted a few times and the wait seems longer than before.

[Andrew]

Thats odd!

Anyone else notice speed increase/decline?

[elTwitcho]

Infinitely faster. Muchos gracias, I hated the old server

[Andrew]

Cool!

Its amazingly fast for me too!

I tried to access a thread and this came up. I hit back and went back to the thread then it worked.

Could this be a server glitch?

[Andrew]

Hmm

Not sure about that...I'll look into it!

[blake_sw]

How much did the new server cost?
How much does it cost to keep Pbreview up?
Do you make any money through Pbreview?

[Andrew]

1) $1500
2) $150/50gigs of transfer
3) Not enough for how much time I spend on it!

[blake_sw]

WOOSH, The sound of money exiting Andrew's pocket! Do the sponsors like Xtreme Paintball pay you to put their banners up?

[Andrew]

Yes!

[blake_sw]

Allright, well that's good...even though I've never clicked on a banner here. Oops, there goes the sponsors.

[Andrew]

Yah the click through overall is .22% :(

[blake_sw]

I never look at the top, no point. Whenever I post it brings me down to the bottom..to my post. That's where the ads should be.
Another question..will there be any more Canadian related forums coming?

So thats why the site was not up yesterday! I kept getting that the site was not found or when i went to http://www.pbreview.com I got a spanish website. I have noticed a increase in speed.

[blake_sw]

haha, yah! Thanks drew

[blake_sw]

Do you know what the problem was?

[Andrew]

The absolute folder address changed from /home/httpd/html/pbreview.com/fpics/ to /var/www/htdocs/fpics/ because of the new server!

[blake_sw]

Good work Number 1
