RS Has a New Home!
 

Here we are, in our new home. Not far from most people, in Seattle, WA!

We're now hosted on a pair of Xeon servers, one with a Lynnfield (Core i7 8xx) core, and the other with Core 2 Quad.

I also changed some things around in the background. Actually right now, most people shouldn't notice anything. But this should leave room for more improvements down the line. Mostly, it should feel faster (at least once everything is optimized) and more stable (we no longer have a bum ethernet card we're trying to rely on)

Anyway, I'll leave it up for the night for testing, for the folks who are smart enough to edit their hosts file. It will take a while for the DNS switch to propagate anyway.

Happy RSing! :thumbsup:

If something is broken, please report it here. I know about the album images on the main forum page, currently looking into that. Please check this thread before reporting anything.

heh....looks like not many ppl know how to edit their host file to get in here.

Goggle.ca is all you need :P
Learning something new everyday.

It seems a lot quicker atm for sure!

LOL that's exactly what I did too.
Took me 2min to figure it out.

Yes, everthing is faster now.

google is my friend!

and yeah...very fast!

Where was RS hosted before??

:)

Good stuff Skinny! :) It feels snappier, maybe because no one's really on it. :lol

Also curious as to where it was hosted before? Very nice addition of the FUUUUUUUU. Haha nothing like a nice update and a good lol at the first sign of your daily rs usage

awesome
at first i could only view the threads but i couldnt post
i just replaced revscene.net with the ip address http://174.37.158.171/forums, later i checked back on this page and tried the solution u guys posted lol

I thought I would wait for the DNS to update, but couldn't wait any longer so I figured out how to edit my host file :thumbsup:

Too bad we can't stop the DNS from propagating. :)

wow, the lack of posts = the lack of google skills. Even i was uneasy of how to edit my host files until i spend 8 seconds on google. Now Im here.

It definitely does feel faster! :thumbsup:

Same. I'd long since forgotten how to do it. Seems all good sofar.

Feels faster. Pages with lots of pics seemed to load around twice as fast.

Self-education to change the hosts file myself FTW!

it does seem somewhat fast. we'll know tomr for sure.

not that difficult to edit.. lol

So SkinnyPupp, How many users are actually browsing RS :lol

Awesome! Ghost town RS :D

seems quicker....

it'd be nice if we were hosted IN CANADA ^^

Agreed!

Everything loads at least twice as fast now! I've noticed some new smilies too, like :bullshit: and :blushsmile:

Ok cool
