Hydrogenaudio Server Switch, Software and hardware upgrade Options

[Garf]

Hi all,

as many of you have noticed HA has been getting annoying slow as of late. An increasing userbase combined with the forum itself containing more and more content has caused us to outgrow our current server. The administrators have been slowly working to set up a new, more powerful server to make HA usable once again. Together with the server move, we will also update the forum software to add a bunch of new features and bugfixes. Our looks will also change slightly and offer a more readable and professional style.

It is possible that at first some things will not work correctly on the new server, or some features that you are used to might be missing. We will try to resolve such issues in the coming weeks.

Next monday, we will shut down the forum and wiki and start moving. We hope that this process will be finished in a day or two. So, expect us to be back around Wednesday.

Garf, I am extremely impressed by the speed of the site (and with the speed at which it was moved).

I was just waxing lyrical to a friend who maintains a medium/large forum. Are you able to provide details of the hosting set-up that I could pass on to him?

I'm posting to a thread, rather than PM'ing, as I suspect that some other members may be interested as well.

Many thanks.
