sounds like they are messing with the way the universe works. I hope they know what they are doing.
 
hehe... I'm just pulling your leg. We don't mind the upgrades. We trust you guys. But just in case... who is responsible for the back-ups??? :eek:

j/k... thanks for the info. Is interesting to hear.

There's LOTS more to tell, really. Some very exciting stuff!! One of which will have some profound implications on MyBB servers - and its backups, of course. ;-)

We're looking forward to implementing the latter within the next couple of weeks. Just laying the groundwork first. :-)

Hi Krigevr

Thanks for the information so far. Is there a possible that you will be able to give us some more information on the technical side of things?

This stuff makes me feel like a kid in a candy store but unfortunately I'm working on the wrong side of the demarc point at the moment.:D
 
Hi Amida

Before Krigevr jumps in I will state that we can’t say too much now. After we are ready for implementation we will let you guys know. But expect better service levels, faster serving times and the like ;)
 
You're putting a coffee machine in the lobby? :D

Yeeeehaaaaaaah!

j/k. /me waits.
