Philly!!!

[TomFulp]

It was a long a tiring day, but the Newgrounds servers have been moved from NYC to Philly! I'll have to post all about the big move later - right now I am going to bed!

As of around 11pm, we got the site and database up and running. The affiliate server is still down, but expect it to be up and running tomorrow and the affiliate sites back on-line. Our webmail server is also not running yet, so don't bother emailing me. :)

I can't describe how awesome it is to have NG in Philly after all these years in NYC! I can drive down to the hosting facility, swipe a card, and look at the servers whenever I want to now! YAY!

[OriginaleLMo]

Thats cool man. Now tell me where in NY were the servers before. I want to go laugh at the people who lost your deal.

[FIGMENTUM]

Sweeeeet. It's a good thing there were no glitches in the transfer.

[bassist17]

[PCinoGuy]

Kewl! Now just get rid of all the popups!

[XkwiziTOnE]

[Cnskill]

Amen to that Tom! WOOT WOOT! And it's still runnin smoothly :D good work and you only kept the site down for a short amount of time! NG is the best.

[shitt0r]

Nice to hear the move went smoothly since I would've been rather pissed off if I couldn't get on NG for a couple of days. Good luck with everything NG-ish!

If there weren't pop-ups, there wouldn't be NG. Anyways,
I'm glad that NG Staff are near the servers now, you'll have a constant eye on them, in order to see if everything is running good and stuff... Well, I'm pretty happy for it, and luckily, we're off to a new era of NG !

[Shovelman]

yay

[Magna]

i'm glad to see you didn't hit any 'snags'.

We're still with the same hosting facility, just in Philly instead of NYC, so they didn't lose our "deal". We're also using the same bandwidth provider. So no laughing for you. :)

sure it would only it would be www.geocities.com/newgrounds and there would only be 12 movies on the site and it would be down the hole day becouse there's never enough bandwich

[Steve84]
