Dedicated Server coming

I have bought a dedicated server the stats are as follows

RAM	8 GB DDR2
RAM Upgradeable to	8 GB
Model Number	E8400
Hard Drive	250 GB SATA2
Monthly Transfer	12 TB
IP Addresses	4
Front Side Bus Speed	1333 MHz
L2 Cache	6 MB
Uplink Port Speed	10 Mbit/s
CPU Benchmark Score *	2226

essentially this is a damned amazing server and we will never have to upgrade even if we get 100's of thousands of members

this will solve all our DB issues when we move to it

there may be some heavy turbulence for a few hours in about 5 hours or so once I start setting up the transfer
^this is a HIGHLY Optimistic estimate and it will probably take a fair bit longer

I don't know what any of that means aside from "we will never have to upgrade even if we get 100's of thousands of members", so that sounds good to me. And the update is happening when I'm sleeping, so even better. =)

Thanks a bunch for the heads up and the nice server. I don't want to know what you had to do to get that ;). You're awesome discord.

Eh, that's more of the added bonus than anything. Just knowing that the server is going to be awesome and up fairly soon is great news.

Ahhh the really good one.

Hope this all plays out.

A risky move if it doesn't go right.

A beautiful one if it does.

Only time will tell.

Hoping it all goes right of course!

I'll probably be asleep, thanks for taking care of us.

Good luck with the setup Dis!

Specs look awesome, hope it all works out well. :giggle:

:( Makes me feel like some cheap schmuck... @Discord, you can have my time, does that count as a donation? :ab:

Hopefully all the bugs will be cleaned up soon as well :)

Sexy stats there. I like. Looking forward to it.

Do explain on why we won't have to upgrade, even if we get said amount of members. And don't hold back on the tech-y stuff.

Sounds good. Looking forward to this.
