BansheeHQ Server Upgrade Downtime

[locogato11283]

As some of you may know, BansheeHQ has become too big for its current server. This is thanks to all the recent Premium Member additions as well as all of the new regular members. The site traffic has gone up considerably which is great, but it has caused some problems for the server.

 

The current server cannot presently keep up with all the requests during peak usage hours during the week which are usually 9-10 P.M. CST. Many people have probably experienced the hanging up of the sever causing the page to not load or have gotten the server error.

 

Because of all this, I have purchased a new dedicated server that should increase performance of the site and kill any issues with it freezing or hanging up.

 

Lee and his crew will be working on the server swap tonight around 11P.M. to 3A.M. EST. I know not many of you are on during those hours, but many of our international members are.

 

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the site may be down for a few hours during the transition to the new server. Please bear with us during this time.

 

My end goal is that everyone's BansheeHQ experience will be better than ever.

 

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has made BansheeHQ what it is in the last year. The site is nothing without the members and I still maintain that BansheeHQ has the absolute best members of ANY forum on the internet. Everyone who has become a Premium Member or bought BansheeHQ Gear and our BHQ Sponsors should be thanked for keeping the site free for everyone else. So, thanks to everyone!
