It seems like this web site has been crashing a lot.
(I am not giving you a hard time about it) Really I'm not.
Is there anything we can do as members to help out the 914World.com?
Do you (we) need new hardware? Money? Duct tape or WD40?

What can the grateful members in cyberland do to help?

How much megahertz and ram are we talking....? Could we re-install it on the existing hardware? Is it at a hosting provider?? I have a server that is on a dsl line, but the upstream is only 256Kb/sec.

Fiid.

we've been through this a few times before, so for those of you who missed it ...

the BBS is running off one of my Biz-Servers that hosts about 10 different (eCommerce and others) web-sites. this server runs NT 4.0 and HAS TO stay that way, i am NOT willing to jeopardise my clients web-sites for this BBS.
the windows requirement came from my clients and is NOT my personal choice.
NO, we can not wipe it and re-code all my clients applications for Linux.

i am, however, not opposed to the idea of getting a linux box and add it to
THE CAGE i have at the COLO-Facility. my cage is directly connected to a BIG pipe so bandwidth is not a problem. i also have plenty of free IP-addresses.

my current workload does not permit me to move everything (the BBS) onto a linux box, but everything is already done in PHP and mySQL, so the transfer to a linux system should not create too many headaches, i just don't have the time.

we put the BBS on my box because it was the easiest way to get it up and running at the time and (at least for you guys) it is FREE ...

so stop giving me shit about what OS we're using and DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE and get us a linux box and move the bbs over and i will put it in my cage at the colo.


can you tell i had a great day at work?
