Scrap that, beefier server

After much messing about, the fact that the servers I've been using just don't have enough memory has come back to haunt me again and again. As the webserver got busier and busier it ended up using up all the resources causing sluggish page loads and some drops alltogether,

I've moved the site onto a server with a much larger amount of ram, the databases are now also spread over several master-master locations to make things a little more resilient Smile.

By Jove I think I've got it!

Improved Page Caching

I've improved the page caching on the site, last time I tried this it caused problems in some of our servers. Hopefully this is now resolved as the improved static page cache seems to not be killing the machines.

This means pages should load faster and cause less load on the server, hopefully as long as it doesn't cause any further problems with any of our servers.

EDIT

Ok scrap that idea Ooops , the servers still aren't playing ball.
I need to sort things out.. This is going to take a while Blush

New Poll: PS3 vs XBOX360 - FIGHT!

Cherryroms Store coming soon

I will be putting up a Cherryroms store soon, filled with some of the spare hardware and games I have around Smile.

There will be old SNES copiers included (although I don't know quite how many). As well as a whole host of videogames for various platforms.

Expect more news soon Smile

Servers Suck

Sorry about the lame downtime this weekend, i've had loads of problems with the new server. I've moved the webpages back to the old server and the database onto a new server entirely, It will allow me to keep everything backed up and separated for when I need to move the frontend again :S.

Nintendo DS Flashcard Poll now up

Thought I'd post a poll as a followup to a previous article, it would be very interesting to see the results Smile.

Been working on the forum design

I've spent some time working on the forum design, quite liking it at the moment, although I must say I haven't yet tested it in IE7 so I'll do that when I get some time to do so Smile.

Jump on the forums and let me know what you think, more features and information will be available on there really soon.

Moving the site to a different server

I've moved the site data, i'm just waiting for the DNS to up date, when you can see this news article it has done.

This move will only be temporary, I am in the process of moving all important services off of our current server so I can re-install it without any downtime, before moving everything back over once that's done.

Hopefully you wont even notice if I manage to get everything correct.

Argh Issues with file uploads

Just spouting out of frustration a bit, Looks like I might have to break the site a bit to get the file uploading stuff working again. I don't know why it's stopped.

Stupid thing.
