Guest Sportingfields Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Jeff, I'm sorry this has happened. Concerned about the dollar issue, I know you've tried to keep the costs down as much as possible for us GT supporters. How is the bank account, do you need more kibble to get us moved & keep us running? Please let us know if you are short, we all, don't want to lose GT. Techy question, is there some way to view the board without the graphics & pictures? it would make loading time quicker for some of us. I've DSL & it's slow, can't imagine what folks with land lines are going thru. This is not a complaint, I understand, just thought maybe the site could be viewed without the bells.... ? Thank you so much for all your efforts. roos Christel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest K9_Lady Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This time I was just staring vacantly at the screen waiting for the dang page to load, and sudenly there are floating 'Greytalks'. Or maybe it's the scotch. That happened to me the other night...I thought it was the grape wine cooler and not wearing my glasses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Another forum that I read (forums.somethingawful.com) has an entire rack at Steadfast in Chicago. I have never seen any downtime since they moved there from zipa. http://steadfast.net/services/colocation.value.php Joe the Greyhound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out how to post from there but who cares, it's easy to scan the board & see what's new. Will keep an eye out if you need more kibble for the server. roos Christel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Just upgraded my home service while we work on other hosting details. It should help make things a bit more bearable. Our upload (download to you) speed was increased by 50%, so hopefully things will load faster, and I’ll be able to surf while you all suck down my bandwidth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 It is so slow I am going to have a nervous breakdown (used to quick at work) I don't care where you go or how much it costs ( ) get the speed back Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Do we need to start a GT telethon?? Perhaps we can recruit Jerry Lewis-- or Jennifer and Judy can use their "in" with Johnny Depp?? Seriously, if it would help, we could start a donation drive, with any leftover going to the hounds. We GTers are addicts! I like that idea!!

Guest sheila Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 what stinks is thinking that all the conversations begun during this downtime may be lost once the regular GT is up and running again. It's one thing to lose a day or two and go back to where we left off, but to lose a week or more and go back in time to where we left off is going to hurt.

Jeff Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Since this will be an extended time on the development server, I will restore this database to the main server. The server was suppose to be shipped out to me today. I'll need to do some updating, then get it to another datacenter. It will be at least another 2 weeks before we get it going on a better connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greystoked Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi, Jeff. Thought summat was up w/ the center, sorry to hear about all the grief and complications. A hearty roo and thanks to you for all your hard work and dedication. I will stay off for a bit to spare the bandwidth, that should make things better and I'm sure most GT'ers will be pleased as punch to hear that. Just happy I wasn't banned altogether. Good luck and thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
