NEW SERVER UPGRADE
 

Danny has just announced a new server upgrade.. .. . </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">I have just signed an agreement to upgrade the current server (Dual PIII 550MHz, 512Mb RAM, dual 9Gb SCSI RAID) to a Dual PIII 800MHz, 1Gb RAM, dual 18Gb SCSI RAID (10,000rpm). Change over should occur around beginning April. It will probably mean PPRune being off-air for a day or two but the new higher powered server should put a stop to the recent server crashes we have been experiencing at peak times. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">Good news or what?

It only seems like 5 minutes since the last server upgrade... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Why does the forum page show 46,000+ members, but there are members with numbers 50,000+? . .. .Just curious.. . . . <small>[ 16 March 2002, 13:43: Message edited by: Check 6 ]</small>

Numbers are allocated sequentially and NOT re-allocated when users 'drop-out' ie with 'the guvnor's' 4000 names gone.................... .. .In other words, the total registered membership is around 46000.

Thanks BOAC. I wonder how many The Guvnor really had.....

It seems there are many attempted registrations which are given serial numbers, but then do not actually become registered members.. .This is what member No 2 told me a long time ago - . .PPRuNe Towers . .. .Dep Chief PPRuNe Pilot. .(IC Lavs & Dunnies) . .. .Member # 2 . .. . posted 10 July 2001 11:05 . .--------------------------------------------------------------------------------. .expressman,. .Several times a week unemployed wannabees kept in a disgusting conditions here at the Towers (a 737 flight deck mockup) are forced to cull dead or non funtioning registrations. The most common reason for this is faulty e-mail addresses whether mistyped or simply no longer/never active.. .. .All part of the giddy fun that is administering this site.. .. .Incidently 36,000 is the average number of individual visitors to the site per day.. .. .--------------------. .Regards from the Towers.

I'm given to understand that with the upgrade comes a redesign.. .May I be the first to complain that I don't like it.

May I be the first to thank the Chief pilot VERY MUCH INDEED for the pending upgrade.. .. .&lt;Note&gt; Must now go and buy a PPRuNe hat to help pay for it.
