TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted November 20, 2012 Hey guys, I have been informed that the main part of the server upgrade will happen sometime in the next 24 hours. There may be some downtime for about 30 minutes. Hopefully it is the last time for a while. The site may still act weird for a little bit during the transition. The new server will be about twice the specs of our current server that has been running these sites for 8 years - something we finally outgrew recently. We've come a long way since GTA-SanAndreas.com in both content and coverage of other games. iGTA5 has obviously proved to be very popular and it will continue to get more popular as we approach the release of Grand Theft Auto V. On the downside, part of paying for the new server means a couple more ads. There will be an additional footer ad and guests will see ads in forum topics (you may have seen them on other forums right under the OP). These pay directly for the server as always. Thanks and let's continue to make iGTA5 the best place for GTA V! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted November 24, 2012 Alrighty. Server switch is complete for all websites. Still working out some issues (image gallery homepage for example). The website overall may act weird for some of you for a little bit longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 *bump* I think everyone knows the lag we've been experiencing recently. In preparation for Tuesday, we have been moved to a faster server. A few other upgrades are in the works to make sure we're still afloat Tuesday morning too. Hopefully this actually lasts more than a year unlike the ^previous move^.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GunSmith 2452 Report post Posted September 14, 2013 Sorry about that. I knew I should have slipped more than one in your drink. Also, how confident are you in the new server's ability to handle the coming shitstorm, Fitty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted September 14, 2013 On top of the server things, the forums will also be upgraded tonight or very very soon. I think Psy stopped upgrading well over a year ago. There's a potential things could get a little messed up between the forums and the front pages but we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
