Well, I guess it's time.
I'm having trouble with the internet line that feeds my personal server. The personal server, runs this forum, the video streaming, etc, etc. And, the forum software is getting outdated. So, I'm considering fhe following:
Moving the main part of the site (www.russbo.com) to a larger, faster server.
Moving the forums, etc, to this new, larger faster server
Getting rid of my personal server and its internet access line
Upgrading the store with new software
Upgrading the forums to the newest, fastest, and best upgrade.
Adding more videos and other things.
I'm sweating in my chair thinking about how much work this is going to be. I've already committed to new server space, so the main part of the site is going to be moved. (It will be down, sometime around Christmas, while I do this part of the job). But, upgrading the forums, and moving them to the new server, is going to be a nightmare. I don't think you guys know how much work I've put into hacking the present forum, to have all of the features that it presently contains. Upgrading this forum, and "rebuilding" it, is going to be one hell of a process. But, the current forum on the current server / line, is slower now, and we've got a lot more things to add.
Well, you all know what's been happening here in russbo land..... I need some feedback as to what you would like me to do. Whether it's worth it or not.
