New server ordered

I don't know if you guys noticed but this forum is not available certain times of the day when the server load is very high and you get the error message. I've been trying to resolve this through few tweaks for over a month and weren't able to....

Part of the problem is that this forum is being shared with many of my other sites and one site in particular does spike in traffic once in a while that interrupts this forum.

So, in order to prevent this from happening, I've decided to spend additional $50 a month ($219 total) to move to a faster server with more memory.

This move is obviously to plan for future as I expect this forum to get busier and busier.

The server has just been ordered. it takes a few days to get it setup, then I have to transfer the contents from the old server to the new one. During the transition, the forum will not be available for 1-2 days.

Just wanted to give you heads up of what's coming.

Happy posting.

Hopefully, you'll see less interruption and faster response. Both good.

Well, if you can read this, that means you are at the new server.

I had to turn the forum off over the weekend so when they had to backup the old server and make the transfer, you wouldn't lose any posts.

So, here we are. Running out of much faster server and hopefully no more database errors and interruptions.

All we have to do now is grow and help me justify spending $219/month to keep the forum going.

This site is appropriate for ALL ages - there are many young up and coming martial artists. Not to mention female members.

I notice its moving faster. Hopefully nothing else I think of will be lost to a combo of Database error and laziness.

though you won't do those ads, there is typically plenty of space for more ads (Which can be appropriate) along the sides and bottom, especially in the longer threads with full pages of posts. Might want to think of capitalizing in space that won't be too annoying to the users, but will bring in more money at less of an expense to yourself.

It's a delicate balance between too much ads and user experience. Currently, the ads you see do not bring in much at all.

What would bring in the ad money worthwhile is private ads sales, such as martial arts related sites advertising on this site (e.g. KarateDepot.com at top and on side). However, in order to do that, we need a lot more traffic.

Ever consider cold calling schools that could use promotion at a resonable rate and make a deal?
