Upgrade for server..How much needs to be raised?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LOHRTBT · 03-04-2003, 04:11 PM

Is there a way we can help make the forum faster

by all pitchin in and helping buy more space or better software for the board??? This too many connections thing is getting old!! haha and we are getting 1-5 new members a day.....speaking of which....Travis..the guy I posted about yesterday is waiting on approval so he can post.

Any info appreciated!

BigRed · 03-04-2003, 04:45 PM

Dave, I'd email Edited: Josh (hope that's the right guy). You'll get a better response.

I agree, a faster server would be nice!

PHOENIX · 03-04-2003, 05:15 PM

Josh is the guy to contact on this board. Just dont doubt its him or your avatar will be a sheep

This is what he did to mine

I really have no complaints about the speed of the site or the amount of errors I get. Every once in awhile Ill get an error or two but then I hit refresh once or twice and its ok again. I hope the software for posting doesn't change. I really like the setup here, wayyyyy better then what CT has.

Low87 · 03-04-2003, 05:53 PM

Ditto Eddie! Very much in liking of the set up here.

LOHRTBT · 03-04-2003, 05:58 PM

Not saying I dont like it ...I lovethe format... Just want to see if we can all help make it faster. Trust me ....it will get worse .

Low87 · 03-04-2003, 06:02 PM

Show us the way Dave! I'm sure we could get a few bucks out of everyone. Naturally, and I'm sure you thought of it, let's wait to hear from Josh to make sure it's not just a minor software problem or something.

Save it for the ladies. Your just jealous of our mad whoring skills. Maybe one day young grasshoppa, be patient.

*1FaastC10* · 03-04-2003, 06:44 PM

oh, im workin on it, trust me!

79BIG10 · 03-04-2003, 07:30 PM

LMAO!! I'm on dial up and have no issues. I think Dave is just too short on patience. I know on cleaning he sure is.

LOHRTBT · 03-04-2003, 08:01 PM

LMAO!!
You bunch of tools!!!

**swervin ervin** · 03-04-2003, 08:25 PM

You know you can donate money to the site.

Now, as for waiting on Josh to reply, don't hold your breath. He don't come in the forums much. You will be better off catching him in chat.

LOHRTBT · 03-04-2003, 09:13 PM

cool....just wondering ...I am soon to be a contributor as well.

Low87 · 03-05-2003, 10:52 AM

How do you contribute? I looked but couldn't find anything.

Ryan Flowers · 03-05-2003, 10:58 AM

I would be willing to donate.

This board has helped me alot and I plan on getting years of use out of it.

hehehe look at the second thread down from the top. The sticky thread called ..... Sticky: Help support the board.

Low87 · 03-05-2003, 01:15 PM

I knew it was going to be something obvious that I had overlooked. I never pay attention to the stickys.

LOHRTBT · 03-05-2003, 01:55 PM

retard!! haha

***Josh*** · 03-06-2003, 10:40 PM

Mostly the errors are caused by a misconfiguration, I havent had the time lately to tweak it to allow more connections, the server in theory should handle everything just fine for now, upgrades shouldnt be needed for atleast 6-12 months (I hope). In which time if donations continue to trickle in as they are now money shouldn't be an issue, only time.

**swervin ervin** · 03-06-2003, 10:53 PM

There you go boys. Josh sure made a lier out of me, huh?

Thanks for the explanation.

LOHRTBT · 03-06-2003, 10:53 PM

Thanks for the answers Josh!

Keep up the good work!

79BIG10 · 03-06-2003, 11:04 PM

Thanks for the info Josh. BTW: What's up with that Avitar? Strange looking.
