| 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!  |

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.

Feels faster. Pages with lots of pics seemed to load around twice as fast.
Self-education to change the hosts file myself FTW!
