    I'd post on the front page, but we forgot to fix NewsPro and can't post news just yet... :shake:

    [​IMG] Well I'm glad to see SP made the transition with no major problems. Is the new server simply an upgrade or was the old one showing it's age?

    /me settles into the new server like homer returning to his bum groove after that carny bloke stole his house (hmm i best stop this Simpson analogy here and now).

    Well, not exactly showing its age, but since SP is getting more traffic lately a faster server was definitely in order. The old one was a 1Ghz Duron with 512MB RAM, this one is an Intel 1.7Ghz with 1GB of RAM... Should work much faster now. If people keep donating I might be even able to pay it off. :p

    Cool, it's faster? good for that! It was really slow at school and on BlackCats' computer, I can't tell the difference on mine though, 'cos my modem is shiny new.

    Congrats on the quick change though! I couldn't notice a lapse or anything when you changed over (apart from the forums, a whole day without posting!AARGH!)
