Well this takes it back... you people are lucky, when we started we were running of an access database on what can only be described as one of the slowest rented hosts ever!
It really was appaling
Converted snitz (www.snitz.com) to vBulletin in July/August 2004 - then the dedicated box was setup January this year....
I wonder where we'll be in another 3 years....? :chin:
Seeing as this already got dragged up last week, I might as well fill in the blanks.
By October-ish 2006 the forum was too big to be handled by a single machine and had gone into massive slowdown. It actually took 3 months to rectify this though - with the two new machines (1 web and 1 database) going into operation in January 2007.
At the same time, location was switched from Dallas to New York. NY being picked as it had the shortest hop time to the UK, whilst not being *too* pricey.
This config held out until a few months back when the webserver was upgraded to a dual quad core and the backend converted to PHP5.
So there you go
how about some diferent history like none technical
and people are still too tight to donate the odd £5-£10 now and againSeeing as this already got dragged up last week, I might as well fill in the blanks.

I was in my first year at uni - i blame this forum for my failure
luckily i was just leaving uni.
But i didnt have a fiat until 2004
at the time i was cruising the mean streets in my 96 ibiza 1043i. Oh yeah. I know what your thinking.mean wheels.
so the server has 8 cores.... controlled by a system called skynet... when does the terminator come into this?
Is it about time to drag this up again?
wow the ultimate of ultimate thread resurections :L
And from one of the people who was there on page 1! Epic
And still has only 89 posts, Devil, did you just register to revive threadsAnd from one of the people who was there on page 1! Epic
To be fair when I joined I actually had a Fiat.
I've just bought another one, so it was only fair to revive this account. And wind up Volxstu.

There have been bigger thread resurections, previous posts 6 years for example...
Just wanted an excuse to get on this thread of epicness
If you want the ultimate thread ressurection, I can go find one from March 2002 and bump it. And win.
It doesn't get much better than this m20b25 - look at the thread ID ... 1!
