We're all dooooooomed!

[Aloneness]

Spoiler for Hidden:

I don't know too many of the specifics myself because Tweak has been working it out. But as far as I'm aware, we've already switched to the VPS which is $1000/year instead of the $2000/year for our original server. Switching to the VPS caused some concern about how it would affect forum performance, but overall it seems to be about the same. Based on the donations we received and the cheaper server cost, it should all be enough for the next year. If all goes as planned, we might even be able to jump over to better equipment before then.

We've been working on switching the server and dealing with the donation rewards from the Indiegogo campaign over the past couple weeks, so things have been busy. Sorry for the delay in an update.



So the short answer is: We're okay for now, thanks to you guys.

About the only performance issue that I've noticed since the switch is it says the server is under high stress a little bit more often then it use to. As well as if me and some other people get in a really fast posting frenzy say like the time me and someone else almost beat the current record on the VS Mods thread, where the thread was literally updating every maybe 5-15 seconds one of my other friends said the server was lagging and I started to notice that as well every now and then when refreshing the preview button to see if another person had posted so I could post my post. Other then that everything seems to be the same.

I personally haven't noticed any difference

[Nrein]

I can't say I've seen any difference except for five instances of "502/503". And that it's $1000 cheaper, which still seems a bit more expensive. But then again, I've only ever gotten quotes on things like that, so I wouldn't know about final price

Hey, here's a good idea do a little Furry-Con. Where you live, have a WHOLE bunch of furries pay and hang out. Have food, merch, games, and more interactive stuff! Have Furries from EVERYWHERE try to come! Haha, that'd be amazing.

It's always been in my plans to work something out for a big meet. Just the logistics of it is rather difficult.

[Timmy Fox]

That and the fact that this forum has such a wide variety of members from all over the world.

[Estella-Surahn]

Yeah, good point. Maybe do a give away. Like a giveaway. Person to pay the biggest amount get a huge surprise ... I dunno just trying to help

[anoni]

Can we make a deal that if one of us manages  to get access to a ridiculous amount of money, we'll fund a TFF fur meet?

[MrRazot]

I can go with that

[Sparky15756]

I've kinda done TFF meets before, albeit with three different members over the past four years? Meeple, Tyla-Cat (2009) and Kitt / Katka (2013). Though it's a shame that the former two aforementioned people have stopped contact with me for whatever reason

[Sparky15756]

The only way we can do a furmeet is at a convention and even then it'd be small meets because the majority of people can't get to the same convention at once.

If worse comes to worse I can setup a server here at my home as temporary.  I have several systems here at home and one I just retired earlier this year as an old gaming rig is perfect to run a Linux server.  That way, no VPS, just dedicated hardware that you have control of.  OR can use it as a back up system when this one goes down...which I have noticed quite a bit since joining this past week.


Just thought I'd put that out there.

glad to see the dissapearance of tff never happened
