The Duke 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Due to a huge boost in traffic, we will be upgrading the server this evening beginning at around 10:00pm. The site should not have any downtime, however, posts after that time could be lost so please refrain from posting. The upgrade should not take more than about 12 hours, so tomorrow things should be back to normal. Thanks so much for your understanding. We appreciate your continued support as we could not have done this without your donations. Thanks again. Auburn Eagle Team ***** Update should not be any down time at all according to the Host.

TXaubie 567 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 About the time Lache announced I noticed that the web site slowed down. Glad to see you guys are fixing that. I will donate to that. Also is there a place to see how many people are online at one time. I looked, but could'nt find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Problem, is that the company that we are using us is charging us out our rear ends. We are trying to change companies but this one seems to have us locked in until we have down time and can get everything moved. Long story short, we have a lot of work to get this site moved to another server. With the upgrade, they will do it all, and charge us a ton, but we want Wednesday to run smoothly, so thats what we have to do. We are planning on moving to a new company which is cheaper and should run much smoother. Just gotta have some free time to get it all done. With NSD looming, we don't have enough time.

There is at the bottom of the messageboard, for the messageboard, but that is it. The other day we had nearly 700 people online at once, I expect that to triple on Wednesday.

mrdude 3 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm an IT system admin and I'm surprised that they're having to move the site (and the data) from one server to another just to provide an upgrade. Many of the good hosting companies nowadays use virtual machines for servers so to do an upgrade they could just assign more virtual memory and/or processors to the existing servers, providing for a seamless upgrade.

AUnCullman 601 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I agree, thanks to you guys, Brandon, ST, and all you other guys that I cant remember right now which makes all this happen to us AU junkies. We appreciate all you do. Keep us posted on the switchover when it does come. Maybe we can flip some more coin before it happens to help you guys out. Slow servers--> switching over to other servers --> making sure everything works --> keeping your sanity when everything come online and works --> then you start this --> War Eagle guys!!

Glad you are growing and sad that you are having to pay so much - I donated last week - happy to do so and still feel like I am getting off cheaply!

AA 1 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Brandon...Sounds like a lot of us are wanting to make donations to the board, but the link you posted doesn't work. I can go directly through paypal if you can give us the payee info. Let us know. This site is too good to not be willing to help out. With all the members now, if everyone donated $10 or so, it should add up quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
