Hello all,
This late evening I've moved the site and forums from the shared web server over to the new dedicated server we built from the donations given. The new server is a P4 2.8 GHz with 1 GB RAM, a 160 GB hard drive and a 40 GB backup drive. This new server should hold us to a virtually unlimited amount of registered members and probably 1000+ users online at once. There will be absolutely no more random slow downs or lag as previously existed once in a while due to the busy mail server on the old shared server.
The IP address of the site had to be changed. Fortunately, DNS updates much quicker than it used to in the past and the majority of members can access the site normally already. Others might see the site down for a couple hours until the DNS gets updated on their ISP and/or computers.
Please let me know ASAP if you notice any problems on the site or forums, especially in terms of permission denied errors and such, which I might not have found and fixed.
In other news, for those tracking the site decal stickers, I should have them by the end of this month, probably early next week. When they come in i'll post some pictures and I'll be able to mail them out to members who've contributed shortly there after.
Speaking of contributions -- donations are always welcome for those who have not yet contributed and/or 2nd contributions too.
There's a text link in the top right menu bar and also an image link in the bottom right of each forum page. Here's the link too: Donate
That's all folks! Tell all your friends about the site and forums, more addicts are needed.

Nice job, no problem at all here.
For stickers I suggest that ,contributors or not, a donation will be the minimum we can do .
Thank you Lomag
