I have not received the timeframe yet but I would say sometime in the next 12 hours the site will go offline as we have an additional 1GB of RAM added to the FSB server, it will go down for the physical addition of the memory and on the insuing server reboot, downtime could be 20 minutes to 2 hours+


just a heads up and a thanks a head of time for the patience, i will post more definite times as i get them

mow your yard ?

It's 15 degrees outside and grass hasnt grown in 2 months, plus it's dark and the tractor has shitty lights. Granted it's fun but the end result looks shitty

Where is the server? I mean, do you have it in your basement? Or do you pay somebody else to maintain it? Or what?

upgrade is complete, the server now has 2GB of RAM, should help a little with page load times

page load is still ridiculously slow....at least for me.

The page will go to the "gray" FSB page background and then sit for about 30 seconds or more, then finally will display the post.

I have gotten used to clicking on 5 or six links i want then walking away for 2 minutes and coming back.

try this and tell me if you notice any difference

How to flush out old DNS entries on your computer:

1. Open the start menu and click on the "Run" icon.

2. In the "Run" dialog box type in "command", then click OK.

3. This should open up a black box with a command line, if not make sure you spelled "command" correctly.

4. At the command line type in "ipconfig /flushdns" and press enter.

5. You should get a confirmation that says "Windows IP Configuration Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache"

6. If you don't get this confirmation double check your spelling of "ipconfig /flushdns".
