Some of you have probably gotten database error messages when you've tried to access the board lately. This has been a problem most often around 5-6pm and 9-10pm on weekdays.

The server demands of the NC4x4 board have started bumping against the limits of our current hosting provider. We're currently evaluating a few different options for moving the board to a better server.

We should have all this sorted out in a few weeks. In the meantime, just understand that when you get that database error page, it's because the server is really busy and can't process your request. Come back in 5 minutes or so and try again.

Thanks.
 
We are working on a solution. Our host wants to move us to a dedicated server, but we're talking $$$$ for that. At this time we're looking at another host with a VPS solution. We may have to up the donations a couple of dollars to make up the cost difference.

So far to date, we've run this board completely on donations, no out of pocket expense. we have 247 donating members on this board. So unless we get several more, we'll have to increase the cost a little. This will not affect anyone that has already paid, just renewing subscriptions and new subscriptions.
 
I just dug under the seats of my truck, I have a piece of gum (unused), 47 cents, and a french fry to offer.. :D
 
Hm, yeah, in the bottom of my pocket here....
A wrickled receipt for gas, a wadded up chinese fortune, 37 cents, and 6 aluminum can tabs.
Hey, there's a thought -
Can we do like in the public schools and raise money by saving can tabs???
 
hmm, maybe the next 12 you get you can split the differance between the brew and the board, grab a 6'er or a few tall boys and send the rest for the cause ?

Just a thought

If your in the market, PowWeb, just doubled the space to 40GB and the bandwidth to 800GBs/month for the same $7.99/month (price has been the same for years). I run about 12 different domains/sites with them, including a medium sized "bastard Jeep" forum) without any issues...

Definitely none of the crap TCN is pulling right now! :shaking:
 
We are in the process of transferring the domain and board, this should be flawless, but please be patient if you encounter any issues.
