    The title of the page has a rather funky spelling to it. Should be VictoRy.
    Speed is good!

  2. 2 Bart

    No, it shouldn't :) Old Not a Number in-house joke, check the picture with this post :)

  3. 3 Hedge

    Question to Bart: What are the advantages that visitors will get from this migration?
    (lower latency? better up-time?… etc)

  4. 4 Agaly

    I share Hedge's question.

  5. 5 Bart

    @Hedge: we were running on old hardware (2years+), so I'm expecting better reliability and performance in the short term. On the long term, we also moved from PHP4 to PHP5 which means we can use a few newer WordPress plugins that I've been eyeballing for a while now.. Wait and see :)

    Congratulations :)
    This site is even getting better ?!?

    Looks like Bart's been using those spare potatoes to make moonshine again…

    The speed of the site seems much faster to me!

    on a different note, blender nation links is coming along great!

    Keep up the good works!

    I knew this was a Samurai Showdown 4 reference just from the title, I must have dumped 100 bucks into that blasted machine! More money into SS2. Genjuro rocks! And hooray for your success.

    Nice work, Bart.
    Congratulations. You are truly victolious.
    I should get to bed now.
    But I'd like to just quote what Einstein said.
    "Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value.".
    You're a man of great value. ;)

    Ahhh the amazing success one can achieve, both in servers and Samurai Shodown. We have achieved VICTOLY! ….and also, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US! (連邦政府軍のご協力により、君達の基地は、全てCATSがいただいた。)

    Bart: Seems like for some people your sens of humor is to complicated… I am reffering to recent potatos and Victoly jokes:) Anyway… Conglatulation for miglation!!!

    So what Power Sauce got the new gadgets running??

  16. 16 Tom (not Ton)

    The poor BBB rodents are now in a hamster wheel someplace aren't they? Face it, steampunk may be cool looking but it'd never meet Kyoto goals. ;P

    Gotta love it when the server downtime results in a good victoly…

  18. 18 torxnl

    On my own computer I haven't noticed much differences but on school it loads much faster!

  19. 19 torxnl

    I haven't noticed any differences on my own computer, but here at school the site loads faster etc. Though I can't see the larger version of the image ^^

  20. 20 cperrin88

    Conglatulations to the new, working server :)

  21. 21 Bart

    Content caches are now also back up, so the site performance should be a *lot* better for everyone!

  22. 22 aws357

    Bart is following in the steps of Blender.

    Soon he will start numbering the site's version.

    Blendernation 2.49 has been released !

    Let's wait for Blendernation 2.50 now… (live up to the hype !)

  23. 23 Pablo

    The potato's power!

    Congratulations!

    One small thing I just noticed, in the sidebar it says:
    0 tutorials, downloadable models, textures and more!
    I'd say there are quite a few more than zero ;) (I don't know if the number was already zero before the server change)
    Firefox 3.0.10

  25. 25 Kit

    funky spell-check behavior. victoLy! hehehe.. :P Played that game for some time, too…

  26. 26 Lars

    You guys also gonna use gzip? Saves bandwidth (and is often faster).

  27. 27 rogper

    Ei! Samurai Shodown :D

  28. 28 Limvot

    Great! Yet another improvement! LINKS IS SUPER!

    Hi,

    When I try and view http://www.blenderartists.org using the Mac OS X version of Mozilla Firefox (3.0.10) I get a pop-up Authentication
    Required message which says

    A username and password are being requested by http://blendserve.blendimages.com. The site says:"Default"

    This didn't happen before the migration. I can view the site fine in other browsers and using the windows version of
    firefox.

    cheers

  30. 30 Bart

    @thing1thing2: wrong site, this is BlenderNation, not BlenderArtists.

  31. 31 Bart

    @Lars: yes, I'm looking into serving zipped content. It currently interferes with our caching though so it'll take a little time to fix.

  32. 32 Bart

    @Crouch: fixed, thanks for reporting it!

    Samurai Showdown ftw! :D
