We have completed our move to the new server. We are now on a dramatically faster machine than our last one, and even though we never have problems with speed or performance, you should still be able to see a difference because we gained
1) a 4x increase in CPU speed
2) a 4X increase in RAM (from 16GB to 64GB)
3) a 5-10x increase in Hard Drive access speed (for loading attachments)
And I want to first of all thank, and direct everyone's attention to, the incredible HisDivineShadow!
There's no question that we have an amazing team of volunteers -
Myriads has managed the daily TMF operations for almost two decades, and he's done an incredibly job of keeping things moving forward in an orderly fashion. I could not have done what he's done, and the forum is definitely a much better place because of him.
And of course our currently active moderators DVNC, BellaRisa and Affectionate Dan also do a great job of helping us keep things friendly, and perhaps more importantly, giving Myriads and I their perspectives and advice.
But HisDivineShadow makes a contribution that outshines everything the rest of us do, myself included - When the forum breaks, he's the one who ends up working for hours to fix it. And he is not a guy with a lot of free time on his hands. He doesn't ever complain, but because I know him I know he makes huge sacrifices to help us.
He never tries to call attention to himself or makes a big deal out of what I know is a drain on his very limited resources. And without him, the forum might not even still be here. He's a rock star who never takes a bow, and hopefully without diminishing the contribution that everyone makes, I would say that he's probably the one truly indispensable member of the team.
Thank you, HDS - for everything you've done and everything you do.
...
And I would also like to thank our Patrons who support us on Patreon. It's because of them that we have this shiny new machine, and the chatroom upgrade I just ordered for us. And any other improvements we make in the future will also be due to their help.
If I had to pay for all of this just by myself, we would still be limping along on completely out of date tools, and there would be very little hope of things getting better in the future.
Instead, we have a new, faster server. We're about to get a new, better chatroom. And sometime this year, I'm going to upgrade our forum software as well, to something more modern and easy-to-use.
So I want to thank each and every one of you who has contributed. (And if I missed anyone, PLEASE tell me so I can add your name to the list!)
