April 24, 20204 yr Let's make it a fan's forum run by the fans for the fans. Donations throughout the year with a yearly drive/focus around the draft?
April 24, 20204 yr 8 hours ago, IFB DOG said: Can you or they do a traffic/package analysis? Can we optimize the boards now for speed (while not sacrificing features you deem important) and bandwidth, prior to asking you to spend the funds away on a package that may not be necessary? Limit guests to specific forums without signing in? Eliminate gif/images from signatures? As soon as the board started crashing I turned this feature off.
April 24, 20204 yr The Board Crashing felt just like Home to me. There were like 380 members posting at the same time.
April 24, 20204 yr There's always growing pains, gotta expect some hiccups along the way. Thanks for all your doing for us Eagle fans VBE!
April 24, 20204 yr It didn't seem too bad to me last night. Did it actually crash after the pick? I noticed it was slow, and slowing down some. So then I went to bed.

I had it crash on me a couple times. It was very slow for a period as our pick neared, and then got back to normal a short while after we made the pick.
April 24, 20204 yr You guys did a great job on short notice. Can you post the go fund me link somewhere so it stays permanently visible

April 24, 20204 yr See donations are still coming in. I think no matter what happens there is gonna be enough support to keep the board alive.
April 24, 20204 yr That’s great news you can upgrade! This is already better than the old Emb. Ready and willing to donate anytime. You should add some ads on the board to make some more $$$

In that case, have your wife make a small donation to the "EagleJoe8 New Truck Fund". All donations are non-refundable, or tax deductible, but you'll leave with a nice feeling in your belly.
April 24, 20204 yr I just sent 10 bucks. I meant to when you first posted on the old board but forgot
April 24, 20204 yr I will happily donate cash every year to keep this thing going.........and I'm sure many others would donate as well.
April 24, 20204 yr I'll definitely donate to keep this going. Just let us know when renewal is due and we can see where we are at from a $ prospective.

April 24, 20204 yr Author I think that we'll have it all worked out by the time games begin (either regular season and/or pre-season). I had hoped that the hosting package would be sufficient, but suspected that this might happen. Wasn't sure if it would happen during the draft or until games began, but knowing that the old EMB crashed during heavy (or maybe even moderate) traffic, I definitely had this in mind. I was hoping that things would go smoothly last night, of course, but at the same time I'm glad that things happened the way they did. Gives us time to adjust. I fully expect it to happen again tonight, as well. But that can't be helped, even if I'd had them upgrade the package last night, it wouldn't have gone into effect until Saturday or Sunday at the earliest.

No one cares if the board crashes or runs a little slow... most of us it reminds us of back in the day and is part of the nostalgia. It’s just great to have a place to call home! i did like at the old board a little bit ago I’m surprised Dave actually showed his face around there, would be kinda cool if he signed up here.
