I believe most ever online (4449) includes guests I believe.
And we have looked into this.
Cloud servers are GREAT for short term use, but NOT practicle for day to day, week to week, month to month continuous useage "YET". The cost model just doesn't work out yet.
Because I know whats coming, and you don't.....
Are you having DELAYS right now on the forum???
We SERIOUSLY thought about it.
But Harris Publications has already made the investment in bringing in Fiber Optics to the corporate servers, (of which there are a good dozen) and that makes the cost of hosting prohibitive vs. owning the hardware ourself onsite.
No, not at all.
I have and do now, use leased systems at a ISP.
I have NO problem at all with that!
It just doesn't make good financial sense given our current situation.
Harris has made a serious investment in their infrastructure and it would be a waste not to take advantage of everything that is already in place.
What they are lacking are some really high speed servers though. And while this is what I WANT (and expect we are going to need) it by no means is what I am going to get!
Correct.
I think we can double that.
So if Harris doesn't have the budget for $30k servers, will there be no fix to the load issues? It would seem obvious to me, that infrastructure or not, Harris would want a functioning website and option #2 is more within their budget at the moment.
I know nothing about the current server setup, does Harris have a legit datacenter with redundant backup power, cooling, security, 24 hour onsite monitoring? I would guess no, where-as a managed leased server has all that and isn't $30k and IS a heck of alot faster than the current setup.

I just am wondering to myself why everyone is hackling christopher and complaining about a free site that all of us use (and some take advantage of) to talk sleds and sell parts.. Show some respect maybe ? Im sure hes doing everything in his power to get things worked out... If the servers down, or snowest is being slow, pry yourself away from the computer and go hangout with your kids, wife, girlfriend, or whatever else makes u happy.
OR, if it bugs you so much about the speed and errors, why not make a donation to snowest to go towards that new server they are looking to get...Everyone can complain, but why will no one take action ?

Thank You.
My frustration is just this. You know/knew what your intended future for Snowest is.......you should have been aware of your hardware requirements?
It would be like a framer showing up to the job site and showing off his shiny new tools and special shiny nails...but no lumber to build the house with? WTF?
I will do my best to lay off and give you some breathing room Christopher. As I said before you have taken everything in stride. In the end you are going to do what you want with the site and as always we will adjust.
Thanks.
I appreciate the breathing room.
I know the transition is a major PAIN IN THE BUTT for many of the members here. But we will eventually get where we are going, and I still have a strong sense that you WILL like the end result.

Amen.
Some of you guys act like a bunch of 5 year olds, show a little respect. I can't believe he hasn't told any of you to f-off. None of you even know him and you're bashing him for trying to do his job.

I am sorry that you are frustrated. If there is anything that I can do to help you please feel free to PM me. I will do my best to help you.
Even though a software package comes plug N play that does not mean that you do not have to do maintenance on it. Just like anything to make it better you have to tweak it from time to time.

We are all entitled to our opinion just like you Shorty. A little constructive criticism or user feedback isn't a bad thing unless you get bench out of shape and start viewing other as 5 year olds
If they did not want our feedback they probably wouldn't be soliciting it in a FEEDBACK section
here is that vid I made instead of "contributing" here
caution you are experiencing thread drift

Agreed!We are all entitled to our opinion just like you Shorty. A little constructive criticism or user feedback isn't a bad thing
Not only is it not a bad thing, it can be a very GOOD THING.
