--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris is away for a couple of days (he should be checking in occasionally) so I'm keeping the site together until he gets back.  

The database move has just finished.
In the past couple of days we have moved around 70 gigabytes of data hence why it took awhile.

FreePowerBoards is now running off two dual quad core Xeons (yes 8 cores each) and a AMD X2 with a total of around 12 gigabytes of RAM between them.
There is also about a terrabyte of disk space between them as well (1024 gigabytes).

While we were doing this move we also set up database replication so if anything happened to the database server, we have a exact copy of the database ready to go immediately on another server.

Sorry for the delay but hopefully this should allow us to operate for a lot longer without any further upgrades.

This is just a short notification email that the server upgrades have
been completed! It obviously took far longer than expected but we know
you will find the results well worth the wait (as so many other members
already have)!

With so many levels of data protection now, no other host can compare!
We thank you again for your patience and understanding during that
upgrade process. Your support really means a lot!

Have a great day and thank you for choosing FreePowerBoards.com!
