MiriCommunity.net is now running on VPS (virtual private server). The forum was previously running on a semi-dedicated server shared among 3 other users but performance was hampered because of the pegged (or rather vigorously manually monitored) resources to ensure fair-play among the virtual neighbors. After spending a few days planning, staging, moving, optimizing, etc, I am hoping I got it right with the setup to give me more headroom for further development of the system. I do not like to be maintaining servers, but thanks to everyone for your concerns during these past few days of hair-pulling experience.

carol: haha...some are true tho' ;)
Oliver: Hilarious! :)

stay1: Agree with you Vix. Now you can see lots of the regulars missing from the forum. When a proper posting…
ieR: miri.com US $12,000.... i think today miricommunity.net worth more then that today. Great job Jackson! love the story of how…
dasolve: What a history and the road to success. Well done :)
