Howdy Guys,
Just a quick note to let you all know where things are at.
Firstly I would like to thank Eav00l who has been spreading the word about the site, I have it registered with a pile of search engines but the old site comes up most of the time, hopefully that will change soon enough.
I am presently running this site from a P2 350 Linux box with 256Mb RAM, stability wise it should be perfect unless good old Telstra lets me down by having network problems *touch wood* things have been pretty darn good of late. If the system simply becomes to slow I'll upgrade it, I have been meaning to do something about it for quite a while.
One thing I am a little concerned with is speed of site. Its running on a Telstra Cable connection with 128k upload which equates to approximately 16kb/sec upload which depending on the amount of users it should be ok. If you notice it really dragging please let me know and I will chase it up further.
Ultimately my plan before even starting this site was to get enough users on here to warrant it to be hosted and get my own domain name. I do have the domain name which is being organised now so its all just a matter of time.
There is just one more thing which I should add. I was asked recently whether I made any money out of the site, I could not be anymore blunt than 'NO', this site is a hobby for me so I have no intention now or in the forseeable future to generate money for myself.
Last but not least, I am studying as some of you know, only 3 weeks to go but I can't guarantee I will be around all the time so I could be looking for some moderators or even possibly another admin if things really take off which at the moment they are looking very nice indeed.
That's about it for now.
I will keep you posted of the lastest happenings as they occur. For all the latest news have a look at the main page which can be found here
Cheers
Darren
