Hey everybody,

I hope you had a wonderful vacation and that you're now back for more vbfans content. I wanted to let you all know that we are still improving our network (as always) and our recent change is a move from one server to another.

This server move has already taken place and both hosting accounts point to the new MySQL database already so there is no downtime. It doesn't matter if you end up on the old or the new hosting account. The new hosting account is a server with just a few accounts. So performance should be a lot better. We also have more control over the software running and those kind of things that could drag upgrades on. Nothing but good stuff.

In the next few days your dns will slowly update. You can check already if you are on the old or the new server. If you go to the footer (bottom left) you will see a number: 209.85.42.62 - this is the new IP, the old IP starts with a 6.

Hopefully with last years changes to move all the sites from 5 different accounts into one. And later on to have all the domains use 1 database and set of files, and now with a much better server, and all that, the downtimes and slowness has disappeared for the most part and y our vbfans browsing and posting experience will be going a lot smoother.

I would like to thank our sponsor Patrick from Viper.UK.net hosting for his products and services.

We have a lot planned for 2007, so please keep coming back a lot and stay up to date.

Great changes Floris, and I'm glad to see no downtime for the server changes. (though I'm still on the old one.) Anyways, I can't wait for the rest of the changes throughout the year!

The other night I have worked on a custom script that helps us quickly to generate bulletins for our members. The first one will be mailed today as January newsletter. Sending email to 7000+ members is a lot easier and better and faster on this new server. Making it possible again for us to create monthly newsletters. We also have worked on our staff setup a little bit. The current staff is picked knowing they have time to be active. Which helps creating newsletters when needed. Small changes that will help us grow as a web site.
