Forum Infrastructure Upgrade
« on: February 09, 2012, 04:34:19 PM »
Greetings fellow inmates!  Suraklyn has informed me that there is enough money in the pot to upgrade our hosting package and after talking it over with him I agree.

He is in the process of getting the service upgraded and here are some of the enhancements that might affect the collective:

Dedicated IP - Should make any dynamic DNS issues a thing of the past.

Site Backup Pro - More reliable backup.

Faster pipeline to the server.

Domain will be on a server hosting fewer accounts.

Better e-mail spam filtering.

Since we will be able to do more without affecting forum performance and response we have decided to reward those of you who have made this possible.  Until such a time that donations dry up we would like to offer anyone who donates $5 or more a bmwr65.org e-mail address!

Those of you who have donated over the past few weeks should drop me a line if they want an e-mail address and I'll get it set up.

Wow Justin!  You guys are doing a great job with this forum.  And now a super upgrade.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I'd better get a donation in.  I'm sure I can afford $5.  

Thanks for all your work on this!

It was Suraklyn's idea to upgrade the package - he seems to be goin' soft on me!
