... then you know the site is going through fits. I'll be adjusting the MySQL server to work a little nicer and I'm doing an audit on the site code to make sure my stuff is running well enough. It appears the site is going through some times now. With our recent resurgance in activity all the site traffic is affecting game server performance. The solution to this is to move the website off to another physical server. I work at a datacenter (shameless plug: The Planet Internet Services and ServerMatrix) and can colocate a box or two for free. This network is quite stable and reliable (check the sites for the details. On the serverMatrix forums I go by "klaude". PM me and say hi.  ). I have some parts laying about the house, a case, PSU, video card, floppy drive, and CD drive to put in the server, but don't have much of else. This is why I'm announcing the JA Pledge Drive! I do my online shopping at newegg.com and have priced out parts for a good sized server that should serve us well: CPU: Athlon XP 2500+ Barton chip, 333Mhz bus Mobo: Asus A7V8X RAM: 2x 512M Cricual PC2700 HDD: Western Digital 7200RPM 80G 8M Cache The cost of this stuff is about $415. I need to get with Doobie to see how much is in our PayPal account, but I can gaurantee that it's not enough. This is where you come in. We need funds to purchase this. This is completely voluntary. If you don't have the funds or are 12 or something then don't sweat it. If you do wish to donate though please click the PayPal link in our menu. If you're uncomfortable with PayPal then please email me (djsith AT thejediacademy DOT net) and we can work something out. If this takes off and we get a bucket of cash out of this we'll save the rest for tournament prizes or for building a web server nicer than described above. Thanks in advance for your generosity. |
