FYI - New server has been ordered; Dual quad-core xeon, 16GB memory, 15k drives and in Sydney. Will be blazing soon!!

Really? Arrrgh!!! Ok, ok, I'm onto the new hosting, time to bring it back to Aust.

Basti, forum upgrade is moving slowly as hell.. First thing is getting the site back to AU hosting, which will happen in the next few weeks.

Not totally convinced that will make it feel better... Thanks tho!

:'( You guys are hurting my heart

Hey All, The move to Australian servers will be happening shortly, but in the meantime can you tell me if these problems occur at a regular time? Or is it just all over the place? Also, for how long has this been happening? Thanks guys!

While I know and appreciate this is a Whoretown thread, please keep the racial slurs to a minimum. I know its all in good fun and I hate to be a kill joy but if I was an NZ'er and came to these forums to see threads like these, I wouldn't hang around.

Stop posting crap like this or I'll start banning people.

Does this only happen when using google? I wonder if I can change that...

Hey, you saw my conditions! Now get to leaving feedback!

Ok, its in the nav bar up the top now and also doesn't use JS to display... Now that you guys have gotten your way, you need to make some suggestions or give praise in there!

Ok, so its now a little link up the top, I hope that saves you from throwing yourself in front of a bus.

Wow! Ok, so how do you propose asking people for feedback if its removed?

Its purpose is to allow for collective feedback to be provided by you guys prior to launching SAU 3 (first qtr next year). If you see an idea that you like, you can vote it up, you can ask questions, provide feedback or even complain if you'd like. You can also do it annonymously if you'd like. Its for me to easily, from a high level, see what is most important to users.

There are always going to be people who don't like us for whatever reason. We have been the reason behind a few branch-off forums like Skylines-NSW and others. At the end of the day you simply cannot please everybody no matter how hard you try and if those businesses dont want anything to do with us, then thats fine. Just means that we have more room for the businesses who do. I used to almost lose sleep (literally) when people decided to leave because they didn't like the way things were run, these days I just let it happen and hope that the members who stay will give feedback and constructive criticism about how we can make it better for them.

Search and date/time is now fixed.

The problem is that because we have 2 web servers, it is fixed on one but not the other, so it will work intermittently. Doesn't help when testing

Oh bugger, it was back but is down again. I'll sort this out tomorrow (Sunday).

Good thing we have the best moderators in the business.

Um, why all the questions? For the record, backups are now taken 4 hourly.

Sorry man, I have a bunch of donation emails to reply to! I'll get back to you today or tomorrow, sorry.

Bout 4hrs actually. 3 Servers, RAID 10 on each.

Yeah sorry guys, a bit more was lost than initially suspected. Also, the search indexes are being rebuilt, it will likely be back online tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Jenna, was a hardware failure. Check the announcement.

You have my blessing. Sorry for the late reply. I have a high res version of the logo if you want to use it? I'll take 4 also.
