Site to be moving...
« on: April 23, 2008, 02:30:14 PM »

I thought, before the site changed too much, that I would let you all know why :)

Basically, I cannot really justify having a dedicated server for such a low visited site. Sure, I've used the server for other things during the last year, but it has really been neglected. Though, I must say, the Server has performed spectacularly! One real OS (CentOS) hosting a simple Ubuntu Virtual Machine has required very little in terms of maintenance and uptime has been stellar.

Anyway, so the site will be moving away. Since, this forum is used primarily for OIS related endeavors/help/development... I think I will simply utilize the sourceforge.net project page's web site hosting ability. At least, for now. It would really cut down on me having to fund the cost of the server and/or maintain a web hosting contract. As such, I will probably trim out the sections of the forums no longer really used so that it becomes 100% focused on OIS.

Until such time as I have the time/opportunity to work on other projects, the simple web hosting the SF offers should suffice for the OIS project.. heck, I should be honored that the library is so simple and mostly error free that complaint/problem posts are rare ;)

that's cool. Plus I agree that it's GOOD the forums don't get pounded with questions. I think it's weird that some people won't use a library without loads of posts and constant updates. What if it's 100% complete and so easy to use that no-one needs to ask questions? :)

If you want a forums then you could add whatever sections you want onto my forums, can give you your own sections and so forth for whatever.  If you are keeping the wreckedgames url then if you point that to my nameservers then I could give you your whole domain just up on my server (frontpage, forums, everything; give me your files and db and I'll load it all up) and the move should be transparent.  I have too much unused space and bandwidth so it is no issue for me for now.
