Hello.

As you have probably noticed, our forum has often been extremely laggy recently, due to that its activity is getting closer to maximum capacity.

To do something about this, our forum system administrator has been preparing to move our forum to a new and considerably higher capacity server for some time, which we are now able to afford thanks to finally getting our advertisement system seemingly properly in order with a better provider and Google not strangling our revenue due to pages with swear words (since they are now automatically filtered/hidden/censored).

Anyway, later today, likely around 8 to 9 hours from now, he will begin to transfer our forum to the new and better server, which will likely make it inaccessible for 1 to 2 hours, just so most of you are prepared that this will happen, and do not start to worry.

That is all for now. Please take care of yourselves. 🙂🙏💖

Which swear words are currently censored?
 
Lots of them that were automatically listed as causes for strangling our advertisement revenue. Google seems to be really picky about that kind of thing, but let's not derail here please.
 
That seems extremely unlikely. Our forum will just be hosted by another, more high-capacity, server.

Average vsb user be like:

How much more does this new server cost by comparison (I don't need exact numbers.) and how sustainable is the upkeep?
 
Sometimes I spent like 2 minutes f5'ing through a 404 error page on everything, but ig it wasn't just my sh* hardware(s)

Anyway, 3 things (1 sentences and 2 nice questions):
-big w for us : )

-am I the only one who usually doesn't use (and like) emojis but find cute/wholesome/nice+++++ seeing Ant using it? Idk I think I like everything this guys does taking care of us

-Ant, will the link(s) still be the same (I wish to still bump some threads, will that be possible)?

I would rather not mention the costs in public, but I will ask our forum system manager about the upkeep.

Thank you, and no problem. 🙂🙏

Yes. It would be extremely strange otherwise.
 
So Joined dates will be erased right? Everyone gets October, 3 2023 as a joined date like last time?
What? No. That also seems strange. We will just get a new and better server to process all of the traffic to this forum.
