    ....So we recently hit 50,000 members and our resource consumption is going up......

    ....Massive worldwide shortage of all shell nuts......

    ....large increases of lumber prices due to rodent damage......

    ....Australian eucalyptus crop wiped out.......

    ....Hooter’s can’t find enough chicken wings........

    ....Whale hunting resumed by Australian government to alleviate watch oil shortages.......

    Where will it all end!!!

    With another byte per member, we can make the 16777216 like cap a reality... 50kb more in the database should be possible with the new hardware, right?

    Will this server-upgrade accidentally coincide with the Mercury transit over the Sun on 11th November :rolleyes:

    The problem with text based coms between strangers ... very 1D unfortunately, and leaves a lot to the imagination. I know it applies to me too...

    We're beginning our initial sync of data now, this may take a day or two so expect some slowdowns over that period, this is normal as we're piping a lot of data across datacenters

    We are now on the new server, it will seem slower initially as we're running in a de-tuned state until we're confident everything is working smoothly, then we'll start re-enabling the doodads that give us our performance.

    I didn't notice much degradation in performance (content maybe ;)) but a big thanks to ΩF mechanics, technicians, line managers, executives and subcontracted helpers.

    When I saw this I thought it was a server glitch then scrolled up to realise no they just do have near identical avatars by chance
