Bremund Posted 20, June 2012 Report Share Posted 20, June 2012 So OzRenaultSport has grown too large for the server we're on at the moment. So it looks like we're going to need to move. Unfortunately this means we're likely going to have to turn the forums off for a bit, most probably on the weekend. I'm doing backups and making sure we're all ready to go and we won't loose the forum. If you find the forum offline then check Facebook or Twitter. I'll update them when stuffs going down. http://www.facebook.com/OzRenaultSport http://www.twitter.com/OzRenaultSport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmadrid-182 Posted 20, June 2012 Report Share Posted 20, June 2012 that's for the heads up Bremund! thanks for helping run the site and making it all so easy and enjoyable for the rest of us. Is there a time you don't want us to post or do anything on OZRS, i.e. after 6pm Friday night no more posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorporalPunishment Posted 20, June 2012 Report Share Posted 20, June 2012 A weekend without OZRS? Out of curiosity, how 'big' is the forum now? Not sure how the define the measurement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treza360 Posted 20, June 2012 Report Share Posted 20, June 2012 Where will I get my unbiased GT-86 and BRZ information from over those two days? Cheers, Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azz Posted 21, June 2012 Report Share Posted 21, June 2012 Awesome, I have faith but lets not have an 'aussiefrogs' style incident, too much good stuff on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremund Posted 22, June 2012 Author Report Share Posted 22, June 2012 To answer a few questions Out of curiosity, how 'big' is the forum now? Not sure how the define the measurement... We have 1000 megabytes of space on the current server. We are currently at 1170 megabytes. The database is 850 megabytes, of that 375 megabytes are the posts. Also on average 1 gigabyte of data is downloaded from the forum by 400 individual people everyday who are 95.04% from Australia 1.03% from New Zealand 0.98% from United States (probably bots, etc) 0.76% from United Kingdom 0.06% from France 2.13% from Other Awesome, I have faith but lets not have an 'aussiefrogs' style incident, too much good stuff on here! Don't worry I'm pretty good with backups. I've made a copy from Thursday and that's running on my server at home (just to make sure that the restore works), I'll take another backup before then. Yeah... I think a weekend without ozrs would probably mean I get stuff done! Might not be the whole weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R26DAVE Posted 22, June 2012 Report Share Posted 22, June 2012 We have 1000 megabytes of space on the current server. We are currently at 1170 megabytes. The database is 850 megabytes, of that 375 megabytes are the posts.. Interesting. So the posts as such only consume a relatively small percentage of the overall database size (Not surprising). But what is taking up the rest of the space ? Also, after reading the thread heading, I was revealed at the reason for the "Downtime". I must admit I was thinking "Backlash" of some kind.....

CHRIS-172 Posted 22, June 2012 Report Share Posted 22, June 2012 assume its putting pics through the site, most link them to externals however you can host them from the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on AussieHQ, I've been a customer since before the beginning. Nice. I've been a Jumba customer for a number of years now with a reseller plan. Can't really fault them for the price. Too much of a hassle to move anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerRS Posted 25, June 2012 Report Share Posted 25, June 2012 I don't know much about the technical side of putting an awesome forum together but I appreciate the work the admin team does. Good work gang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
