Looking for a volenteer!

[admin (no pm's please)]

Our main server load has been growing at a very alarming rate in the last week or two.

I wonder in fact if we had not been coincidentally upgrading and tweaking whether the forums would be grinding to a halt right now?

As we have said many times, board speed is very high on our agenda, and we do have spare capacity simpy waiting in the wings for when things do get critical. We don't use that capacity as economically it makes sense to have the current server as full as it can be whilst meeting our speed commitments.

I envisage in the next few weeks needing to flip some large forums over to the spare capacity to ease the load, meanwhile though it would be good to have a few foolhardy volenteers who would be prepared to have there forums taken briefly offline at a prearranged time, and transferred onto the spare server.

In theory it works, it does on our test servers, and we will obviously try a test forum or two on our live servers before trying a really live forum, and obviously backups would be made first.

the benefit would be your forum would whizz along and be immune to the performance issues that are going to mar the service a little whilst the server tops out.
