Forum speed on new server?
Cal,
It hasn't happened -- yet. That doesn't mean its not happening. We got buried the last few months with advertising and other requests that had to take priority over the site migration.
The new site is built and on the new server. What is not there yet is the content from the old site.
The good news is I just hired a new guy last week. His job is to spend 8 hours a day working on the site content migration. Yesterday I set up his workstation with dual monitors since he'll be doing a lot of copying and pasting as he moves the site to the new server. He sits behind me in my office and I promise that I if I see him slacking I'll rap him on the head and tell him, "that's from CalDS650 in the forums".

In other words, the migration should move quickly now that we have an employee working on it full time.

NO WAY dbeck is making more money off all the new ads he as added. I am still waiting to see if the new articles and stories show up and then I will not join. So far dbeck has made more money and we have lost space and info. PS the cut and paste still does not work.

Cal,
The revenue is being put to good use and to your benefit and that of every other forum member. Changes take time. Especially when done on the scale of a site the size of this one. You really need to have two things -- trust and patience.
We have three massive development projects going on right now. We're spending about $20,000.00 on these projects and they are all for new and improved things for our members. So cut us some slack.
By the way, reveue from supporting memberships doesn't even cover the cost of running these forums for a single month. The advertising is what enables us to expand our services for our readers.

Im sure there will be a period of disgruntled users after the upgrades take place as well. Change is hard,,,,,but once we get used to it,,,,some of the newer features will be nice.
For the people that are waiting for the new stuff to kick in,,,,,i can tell you that dbeck has been working on a lot of stuff for some time now. Take your time Dbeck,,,,you cant rush art!!
