As some of you know the site has been slow as of late (Development wise and speed wise) and this is because of us going though a restructuring process which includes virtualizing all our servers. This process took about 2 months to do, one server at a time while making sure our setup is redundant and backed up.

This weekend is the final stage of our restructuring, We will be moving to a different data center. While we are moving we will be upgrading all our servers with more ram, and more processors. Our main server (Ren) and our database server (Stimpy) will both have a second processor added and an extra 4GB of ram installed to make it 8GB of ram each, our storage server (Skeeter) will have an extra 2GB installed to also make it 8GB, and finally our dedicated virtual server machine (Rocko) will be upgraded to an incredible 24GB of ram!

The move should be starting sometime after 12 midnight Saturday morning or Sunday morning and last for up to 8 to 12 hours. There's a possibility of downtime so don't be surprised if the site is inaccessible during the day.

We will keep everyone updated on our Twitter page during the move.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have removed the individual Control Panel section known as "User Images". Instead we have implemented it into the Profile Control Panel section. Just trying to simplify things where we can. The new profile images are now using the flash uploader. If anyone has any issues with it, please let us know here.
