It's been one week since we have moved over to our new server so I feel it's time to update everyone to the staus of everything.
But before I do that, I would like to congratulate a SatelliteGuys staff member on his new promotion. Please help me congratulate Ilya who has been promoted to an adminstrator here at SatelliteGuys.US!
Ilya is a hard working individual who aims for nothing less then perfection. His hard work can be seen in our VOOM forum where Ilya and Sean Mota have worked together to build up the Internet's largest and best VOOM forum!
Ilya joins Sean Mota, Ler, Claude Greiner and myself on the admin staff.
We are also working hard behind the scenes on setting up a SatelliteGuys Trouble Ticket system so that our admins can help users with SatelliteGuys issues on a more speedy manner.
Now back to our new server, I am happy to report that our move went well with only a few minor problems mostly dealing with DNS issues as some members ISP's were not updating their DNS records correctly.
As you may have noticed on our new server the speed is nice and steady now, it does not matter if there are 400 on-line or 1400 on-line. I am very happy with this performance. I am proud to report that our server load has gone from and average of 2.25 down to 1.09.
While our server has been stable and running well, we are planning on upgrading our Kernel on our servers operating system over the weekend. We are doing this on the advice of vBulletin who tell us this update will make us faster and even more stable.
As we continue to grow and add new features we know we will need to add a second server to our setup in the future. Adding and upgrading to server like this is costly, we need your support.
Since we have moved to our new server I am saddened that the number of users visiting links and shopping from the Google ads has gone down sharply. We rely on this income from all of our sponsors to help pay the bills. So PLEASE support those who support us, our future depends on it. I do not want to clutter up the board more by adding additional Google ads to raise revenue. Thanks in advance for you support.
We are working hard on a few other things behind the scenes! As always if you have any ideas or suggestions of how we can make SatelliteGuys an even better place let us know.
Thanks all have a great SuperBowl Weekend!
