    Hi guys,

    So we recently hit 50,000 members and our resource consumption is going up so we’re having to move to new hardware in the next week or so, this may involve some downtime as we will need to move a massive amount of data between machines (several TB) however we will endeavor to minimize that as much as possible.
    Thanks
    Ash

    OK! :thumbsup:

    LATE ENTRY: For the record...the Speedy under the protective band indicated below is NOT my birth year 1964 Echo Whiskey...it’s my modern Speedy from circa 2015. I may be stupid...but I’m NOT super stupid. :thumbsup:
