GBO Upgrade
« on: December 08, 2009, 07:29:39 AM »
Folks, we have been on the current servers now for 3 years and as many of you may have noticed they are starting to slow down a bit and we are starting to get more and more crashes.  As many of you may know we have 2 servers that we run in a mirrored configuration. Well we are looking add another server to our rack. This server will be dedicated to Go2GBO.com and GraybeardOutdoors.com as we had wanted back three years ago. This will be a costly upgrade and we look to spend around $2500 for the server, setup and hosting. We can not make this purchase on our own as we just do not have the funding after just paying the hosting fees on our current servers which is $822 each per year.

We are going to start collecting for our New Server fund and see how close we can get to the target amount. If you enjoy this site and have found it useful then we are asking you to donate using the paypal button at the bottom of any page or use the " Paid Subscriptions" link in your profile. As always donations are not required to use GBO or any feature of GBO but all are appreciated.

I will keep everyone up to date on how much we have raised on this thread.

Target: $2500.00
Raised: $1800.00  so far

Thanks for your Support

Post an address, P O Box, or Rural Route, and I will make a donation with a check or Money Order.  My pay pal account was hacked about 3 years ago and I have not used it since then.

I enjoy this site and will make a donation to help with the server.

Thanks,
Red

Our total is up to 637.00 so far...

I think we may not be able to get it all done till after the first of the year  but we almost have enough to go ahead and buy the server anyway.

Thanks to all who have donated...

5 or 10 dollars is not going to cut into most people Christmas budgets. I bet we can rase the money here pretty quick.

Matt or Graybeard :  this may be a little OT,  but  it looks as if the new servers are up and running good. QUESTION---No one ever answered my question concerning the stars under the Avatar and what they mean, and now they are squares----what do they mean? I miss the stars--sniff, sniff:(
 God Bless to all.

Those are member rank, the more stars, the longer the more posts the member has made and I don't think they're working right yet.
