Site Down Time Explained
« on: December 15, 2010, 10:12:07 PM »
Hi Guys,

As you have noticed we had a little downtime yesterday & most of today

The short of it is we are getting too big for our current server & creating load spikes which our host is not happy with

We have been looking at getting our own server so it wont be shared & we wont have any problems with bandwidth

We'll keep you posted on this  :tup2

On the bright side Welsh Bikers should be a lot faster now to search & post but we are only human so if you do spot an error please let us know

The theme & all other extras you were used to on the forum will come back in the next few days but our main concern was gettting the forum up & running


Last but not least a BIG sorry to all members for the lack of a good motorcycle forum to post on for the last day or so...... :tup2

I worked late last night and all day today so the timing was spot on!!

How are we off for funds for the upgrade? Is the site funded well enough?

Yea had email off someone last night saying he couldnt get in i tried and was dusted as well.

The theme and server its running on now looks ok tbh fast as well,the smilies load faster  :thumb_up
 Back to the old days i recon  ban the people who dont post and just have a few forums.
Was looking a bit posh that was tidy like but  to many forums i thought took ages to look around ,just my opinion or corse
