Outgrown server

It was bound to happen, but after 10+ years on the same server, we are on our last leg. Time for a new/newer server that hard drives are readily available and not $200+ a piece for a mere 300gb USED!

Keep in mind, we have data, posts, images, and photos all the way back to out to our beginning in 2001.

Re: Outgrown server

I noticed some downtime earlier today.

Are donations needed?

Re: Outgrown server

Looking at the member login data, activity is really low. I might use this time to migrate to a server with newer disk technology (low cost, low power) and put it on a residential DSL connection. The bandwidth use does not justify full data center existence any longer.

Re: Outgrown server

Between the SVX World Forums, the SVX Nation on Facebook, and the SVX World Network group on Facebook that is NOT the SVX World Network, I am thinking that the more I keep trying to upkeep this place, I am only taking away from all the other places. Is this a moot point? How many people would actually miss the SVX World Network versus all the other social media forms out there today? I know I was the first to start this place as the split from commercial in your face ads, but it seems everyone is now used to them and the cleanliness of this site is actually more barren.

Not certain what others will say, but I would definitely miss this location. I am on FB, but choose not to share car-related details on there. Others' methods or reasons will certainly vary, but I prefer this site to FB. I don't mind lurking on the Facebook sites, but I don't give much in the way of details there.

This place is a solid gold mine for SVX owners or wanna-bes. The archived info is priceless. Also this place is very friendly as things on FB can sometimes be short fused. Wish I could help with your upkeep and I am sure others feel the same way. Please keep things going as they are if possible.

Re: Outgrown server

Although I'm one of the younger members of this forum (24) I do not use facebook at all and don't plan to start any time soon. When ever I need help or need info, 9 time outta 10 I can rely on this place. I often come here just to read random posts for the chance at getting new info. I cant really contribute alot of money but I'm for sure willing to give back what I can.
