Hi All,

You may have noticed the unusual amounts of maintenance that MTS2 has gone through recently and also the speed problems. This is in part due to the sheer amount of people online (our average number on has gone from 1500 6 months ago to 2200 now) and due to other improvements we have made (the Journal system).

I am pleased to announce that (hopefully) most speed issues should be fixed now and you may have found over the past 24 hours that the site has been a lot quicker. Some nifty detective work, some rewriting of the base vBulletin code and a few grey hairs means you should all be enjoying the site more. It also means that instead of trying to bugfix and look at speed problems, I can now concentrate on adding new stuff, like a better upload system.

One thing you'll notice is that all the "hidden" smilies are no longer available - these have been gone for a while and shouldn't impact much of anything.

Hope you like the speed of the new site, and thanks to everybody who stuck with us!

Regards
Delphy

Thank you Delphi. You are doing wonderful things for this site.

Thanks a lot for all your work Delphy, it's admirable to see all the work you do on this site for no pay, Thanks a lot for all your time. Btw there's no big deal with disabling those smilies

Thanks For That Delphy

you are a very hard worker!

Thanks a lot Delphy, I love this site and will send you a packet of hair colour for those grey hairs lol. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Delphy! Because a fast site is a happy site!

Delpy, your work ethic is amazing!
Thanks as always for this site. I couldn't do any of my recolours without MTS2.

I did notice the site was faster today rather than yesterday. Well, sounds good

Thanks Delphy for the constant improvements you bring to this site. ~Josh

Awesomeness. Thank you, Delphy!!

all hail the great delphy! the site is working great now.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Delphy!

Awesome I noticed the site was going a quite slow the last few days

brravo et merci !

thanks alot man, speed is everything for dialup modem user like me ^^.

u gotta admit, this site has some of the most dedicated people.
Not only is this site the best sim site around, the people who keep it running do it all for FREE!!!
I wana buy u all a drink to say thanku

The speed increase is awesome, thanks for all your hard work Delphy. It's really appreciated - it sucks that people seem to complain about the bad more than thank about the good. So I'm saying a huge thanks

Thank you very much! I'm finding this site quite smooth -- regardless of all the traffic.

Why do the mods always think---- the members i suppose --are always complaining?
How can you fix anything if you don't complain,if it wasnt for the members,this site wounldnt be here. Sides i dont mind if its slow, I know Delphy is doing the best he can,
of course i like the old site better, i just dont like new changes.
Thanks Delphy

Thanks so much Delphy. It barley seems like I have dial up with the new speedyness on the site, its awesome! :D

i have noticed the site has got faster.. its great. i love all the hard work you all put into this site. what would we do without mod the sims 2?? our sims would look like losers and they would have crap furniture haha
thanks alot

Thank you so much for all the time & effort you expend.My game would would not be as nearly as fun without your site & all the talented modders.

Just a suggestion, I wonder if the Help Sections and the turtorials forum, could soon be off-site, like the social forums and the adult section now is, as the amount of downtime and maintance because of the downloads here, make those forums unaccessible even though not everyone comes here just to upload or download.

thank you for all the hard work.

Okay Delphy, what kind of blood sacrifice did the internet gods demand of you for this one?

The site is running MUCH faster. Thanks for updating us on the issues, and fixing the issues. You rock as a site Admin and our beloved Modder of all things.

All Hail Delphy! All Hail Delphy! ALL HAIL DELPHY!!
