This is just a heads up that we have ordered another new server to replace the original (single) dedicated server we first bought in Feb 2005 (which is now dying).

Currently we have:

Server 1 - Main SQL (And email ever since the dev server died)

Server 2 - Dev server and uploads (server 3 was running out of disk space) <- this one will be removed from the mix

Server 3 - MySQL backup, Sphinx(search), IRC, Services (will be integrated with ignition), Staff folders

Server 4 - Apache

Server 5 - Apache

New server plan:

Server 1 - Main SQL 1 <- this was added last year

Server 2 - Main SQL 2 <- this will be the new server

Server 3 - Search, IRC, Staff Folders & Dev

Server 4 - Apache

Server 5 - Apache

This comes with our continuing commitment to offer streamlined service and strive for 100% uptime, and give back to the community a portion of our ad revenue to better services here.

The estimated structure change will most likely take place in December, and possibly coincide with the site upgrade to a completely new news content management system and upgrade to IPB3.

The new server is a Poweredge r300 Quad Core Xeon L5410 Processor2x6M Cache, 2.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, which is the same as the server we bought last year.

Forgot to mention that we've increased the stock 16GB to 24GB RAM and we've ordered larger disks (not sure how big). :p

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area

    • Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com Salesforce today announced that it has reached an agreement with customer support software company Fin to buy the company for around $3.6 billion. Salesforce expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, and the acquisition will not change its financial guidance previously announced on May 27. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, in its press release, claimed that acquiring the startup gives Salesforce an immediate AI agent that resolves support tickets across email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Slack: You might know Fin by its former name, Intercom. If you have ever been on a website or inside a mobile app and noticed a little chat bubble widget floating in the bottom right corner of your screen, often featuring a friendly face and a message like, "Hi! How can we help you today?" you were almost certainly looking at Intercom. Intercom became Fin just last month, transforming itself into an "AI-first" platform that handles customer issues with little need for humans to intervene. The new name originates from the company's highly successful AI customer service agent, which it launched way back in 2023. This digital assistant supposedly resolves about 76% of customer service volume end-to-end on its own, so the business rebranded to match its primary software tool. Fin's new owners, Salesforce, went on an acquisition spree over the last few years, and some of them you might recognize, like its 2020 $27.7 Billion acquisition of Slack. The last few months saw the enterprise giant buy several startups, including m3ter, Momentum, Cimulate, and Contentful. Salesforce said that when the Fin deal pulls through, customers will "deploy AI agents across" various service operations, which will complement Agentforce, the platform that enables businesses to deploy customizable autonomous digital workers.
