I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

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

    @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 :)

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

    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。)

    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

    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 ^^

    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 !)

    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

    @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.
