Following the appalling performance of the old servers last week a letter was recieved by Dextra (the person who provided the old hosting ) stating the site was using too many resources (apparently we were sharing the server with lots and lots of other people), and so if we didn't shut down the high intensity scripts they would pull the plug. Because there weren't any scripts I could change (aside from shutting the forums altogether) and because it would have been unfortunate if Dextra had lost his account beause of the site I decided to move. I had been thinking about this for a while, but the plan got moved up fast!
The name has chnaged to reflect the fact that the site about symbian rather than any one specific release of the OS. The 7650 and 92x0 are ER6 machines, but the P800 is not and we certainly want to cover that machine! It should also hopefully make the site more recognisable for what it is.
I'd like to apologise for the problems you will have on the site, but moving is always a bit traumatic and problematic. If you can let me know via the forums if you find something wrong it would be great.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed their support in the last 24 hours - it kept me going at 3am last night when I was trying to sort things out
. I'm now paying for hosting and may be looking to seek donations a bit more actively, but we'll see. The good news is there is no bandwith limit (so long as I pay for it...!), and some extra features for the server. It should also be a lot quicker for everyone.Thanks
