d3 forum major change over
« on: January 23, 2004, 04:11:05 AM »
Hello d3 crew,
As you may have noticed the forum went offline today. While checking email tonight we found an email from our site's webhost stating that they had deactivated the forum due to being a "huge" resource hog. We had no warning and have spent the past 6 hours scrambling to a) decide on a new board, b) install the new board and c) find a way to transfer over all of the forum's contents.  So, here it is, the new forum. You should notice significant improvements in speed and reliability since we are now using php and SQL, instead of a perl script. Please let us know if you run into any issues with the new forum. We did our best to get things up and running as quick as possible so there may still be a bug or two.  It's now 4am so we are calling it a night.

To add to the fun, people are leeching images from the photo gallery.  Some pics have been viewed over 1500+ times on another site.  Guess we have to tag all photos from now on.  Forum members will always be able to request high res images if the want them for printing.
