Once again, i will be moving the site to a new server.
The plan is to take the site down on Wednesday evening.

This is part of a larger move. Meaning the site will most likely be down for several days as it is rather low on the priority list.

I'm hoping to have everything up and running again on Saturday morning.

Why a new server?

I'm hoping it's to make room for RoadGlue! That would be worth a page full of these:

Yes, RoadGlue will be part of the new server!


Why? Hmmm, let's see:

- Much better Hardware than the current box = Faster!!!
- A lot more hard-drive space = Even more pictures and videos!!!
- Newer OS = ???
- Because i can =

Is there any way you can do it faster? Some of us are addicts and junkies...

I'm afraid not. This is part of a larger restructuring and unfortunately, 914world.com is not high on the priority list ...

Woot Woot!

I think we all should crash the 914club in the meantime

I wonder if Paul and TC can get 1000 pictures posted in the "Off Topic" forum in that amount of time?

Don't you mean these guys?

Ooooh those were the good old days

Awwww they only have 85k posts total! We just past 1.5Mil!

Thanks for all your hard work Andy! May the server gods be kind

Some (mostly) useless statistics ...

- We now have well over 300,000 images that have been uploaded to the site.
- The images take up over 30GB of space.
- Since i increased the max. file size for images, we're now averaging about 1GB of new images each month.



I wonder how much of that was uploaded by T.C.?

... Oh well, I tried!

THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND...

Thanks! It will be worth the wait.

Thanks Andy for your efforts. I know how much work can go into running this forum. Withdrawal will be tough .... even if it is for a couple of days!

Crap, first my espresso maker stopped working and is now in the shop for repair and now my primary car site will be down for a couple of days....what will I do????

That's OK, because Andy is taking care of us and I sincerely appreciate his work and this site. Thank you for keeping this site functioning so well and so fast.

Thanks Andy for continuing to keep this the best site on the web and improving it constantly. We all appreciate what you guys do. Hope you can make it to our Sacramento Porsche family reunion BBQ this weekend, anyone in the area is welcome.


Thanks again,

Jeff

And for you 914world junkies, go work on your car till the sites back up, or if your so lucky..... Drive it

...now I have to go out in the garage and re-organize all my stuff.

Guys, please heed this warning from SirAndy and make sure you log out before this thing gets shut down.

Last time we had a few members who got stuck in here for two days and let me tell you, they were sad and hungry when the site finally opened up again and they could get out. One guy's wife even called the local P.D. looking for him, and another member ate his own fingernails he got so hungry.

Don't get trapped.

Wow think of all the "work" I'll actually get done at work now...

Thanks Andy !

Egads - WTF am I gonna do with this site down for a few days?

Guess I'll just sit around and beat my ....
















... head against the wall




This will be the premier 914 site - Thanks Andy
...

Already is the premier site

It wouldnt suprise me if the "other" site experiences some sort of DDOS attack due to people actually going over there for a change...

Countdown .... 3 ... 2 .... 1 ....

Well, that was quick!

We're back

Thanks Andy !!!

wow! i can already notice a difference. a big mahalo to andy!

checked some of the sites recommended during our little "blackout" and now i'm confident this is the awesomest place!
