The messages are completely normal and you don't need to start a thread whenever you see one, computer_nut. Quote: |
....getting completely overloaded again....
| If there were really completely overloaded it would probably say so at http://status.techguy.org/ (tsgstatus.com).

Servers are expensive. The ones for TSG cost thousands of dollars. Unless your about to donate 5 grand, we're not getting new servers anytime soon. Your asking Mike to do that like it is a simple thing. It is hard to find a server you like, buy it and especially set it up and configure it. As JW said in another thread: Nothing is so easy as the job you imagine someone else doing.
Anyways, we're moving soon so no upgrades/changes are in the near future.

| 8 GB isn't much to upgrade on....
It's a Intel Pentium III Xeon!
It's old enough to have a floppy drive!
4.2 GHz is not much.....
I wonder exactly what the TSG servers are like........

#14 | Yes in fact I have had experience with servers, I've run multiple active forums with success on a 800MHz iBook running YellowDog Linux, apache, ftp, email, and mysql ...I've also used and managed a NetServer LH3R which is a great server, worked like a charm | | | Account Disabled with 374 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Experience: Intermediate |

#15 | 4.2GHz should be plenty for a extra server since the load would then be distributed amoungst three servers  ...and btw, there are 1GHz and 1.4GHz PentiumIII processors as well which I believe that server can run which means it's capable of up to abouy 8.8GHz | | | |
