And I have ordered a new server for Striped-Bass.com. While this one has been still pretty quick (most of the time) it is getting a couple years old and time to upgrade. The new server will be faster (Dual Core) with more memory, RAID, faster drives and all kinds of good network geek stuff. The network will be closer and faster for the vast majority (if not all) of us.

What does this mean?

Mostly, a pretty easy transition will take place in a couple weeks.

We'll have more room to add some nice stuff for you members (I have a couple interesting things I'm working on).

Thanks!

John

John R....what about exclusive forums where we pay per view to learn where a big fish was caught two days prior :smokin: just kidding. Sounds nice and thank you for all you do :thanks:

Yeh - just kidding. No, as I stand on my soap box from time to time as I rail against trading spots for profit, I would be a hipocrate to sell forums for spots...

Nice John, expanding, good job man...:kewl:

Short Version

Old:

P4 2.8 HT
1gig ram DDR 2100
80GB ATA 100
Offsite Storage (to home :poke: )
10MB port connection to Internet
1TB total xfer
New
65ms pings and 19 hops typical to New England over COX to your cable modem

P4 3.0Ghz Dual Core (a quasi dual processor machine)
2GB DDR2 Ram
2 x 120 GB RAID
1 Backup Drive
Offsite Storage to seperate datacenter
100MB connection to Internet
1.6 TB total xfer
40ms pings and 18 hops typical to New England over COX to your cable modem

Both servers are at highly regarded premium Datacenters - no Burstnet here

that should really help especially for the winter when everyone is here waiting to get their lines wet. ;)

RAID 0?

all this time on one drive.... wowie you are a brave man! :)
I don't know what I'd do without my S-B fix every day

Photo Gallery ?
We already have that.

RAID was very expensive and this site would loose money had I gone RAID earlier. Now it is only a double digit $XX per month for RAID, not tripple digit like before. But I did have consistent backups and a 4 hour hardware SLA. (2 HR SLA now)

I hear ya JR. not knowing anything about your datacenter, in general it gets expenisive real quick.

You really do such a great job with this site sir!
:thanks:

you'll have allot more to bitch and moan about
because the "rules are gonna change"....

she will start to adopt any or all of your bad habbits
and justify them by saying: well,....... you do it.....

like when she happens to be wearing your favorite t-shirt

or you'll wake up and find your plug bag missing
and a note that says.....gone fishin... :rotfl:

Thanks John,this truly is a great community!:)

NERD ALERT :laughs:
