Hi All,

Due to great donations and ad revenue last month and this month, we have decided to upgrade some of the MTS2 servers, thus giving us faster processors and faster hard drives, all of which means that the site should be much quicker to load all round.

To that end, MTS2 will be offline probably for at least 4-6 hours, possibly more, as I have to configure up two brand new Opteron 246 boxes, one of which is replacing the database server, as well as move the old db server to become an image/avatar server and re-configure the DNS pool too.

This work is due to take place either tommorow (Thursday) the 2nd Feb, or Friday the 3rd, depending on when the servers are actually installed.

During this time I will also be moving Sims 2 Community, Sapphire Sims 2 and Helaene.com to another, faster server.

Regards,
Delphy

I have the first post you must of had a lot of donations which is a good thing. Just shows how famous this site really is.

Actually... no, you didn't get first post. *I* have the first post since I started the thread. (Look at the post counter hehe)

omg omg 4th post- really STOP THE FIRST POST STUFF!!! ok now that thats done- yayay for new servers <3 Delphy

Ooh! I get the 5th post :D

Is there a prize?

And congrats on the servers. What are you going to name them? Bert & Ernie? Harry & Sally? Bonnie & Clyde? Batman & Robin? Oh! What about OMG & WTF? I vote for those! :P

Definitely OMG & WTF... but you could also do ROFL & BBQ

(and I'm 6th.)

This will definitely help the site when there are loads of people online. I'm glad to see so many people have donated. I myself would, but I have other things to pay for right now. I guess I'll just have to actually play the game when the server's down. Thanks for the upgrade, Delphy! (By the way, I'm lucky # 7!)

Wow... Now I feel guilty I never donated. (#8 :D).

#n ....

so delphy what's going to happen with the old proccessors?
they make excellent credit card holders on your desktop. and if you get the hard drives send them to me and i'll take them apart and you can use the platers as coasters for your cooffee mug.

(and i'm 10th)

hey! good to know.

Why waste perfectly good door stops? Or things you can throw at the cats that get near my garbage cans? Or give them a proper burial, (That one came out of nowhere). And just for the helluvitall, the new names could be, uh, I dunno, Jay & Silent Bob.
And just to keep this train agoing, Holy Penquin, Im #12. Im gonna torch a Taco Bell, and smell that greasy goodness burn.

OMG, lucky #13. hehe. I think I should get a special prize for that.

Umm... yeah... in english? lol I hope it's Thursday as I won't be able to get on then anyways

Dang and here i am,,Im always the last post,lol

a ha, but now, dear Casey, you're not last anymore!

and, i would so donate lots of money to the site if i didnt have college tuition ($45,000+ a year) to pay.....sigh......this is why i play the sims: to escape real life...

anyway, congrats!

(#16, my fav number!)

#17 isn't my favorite, but'll have to do. I guess I should work on my legacy today, if the site's gonna be down. (and then, it'll be my luck it'll be down friday! lol)

Looks like it's going to be Friday, Nice one, I'll be at work. Well done Delphy.

It's great that the site is getting an upgrade... I feel really bad I can't afford to donate, hopefully that will change soon

Great! Good to see we got so many doantions! (I am going to donate soon, I promise )
Can't wait to see the results!

Yay #20! (Sorry, Had to do it!)

Seriously, every reply here is already numbered.

No need to repeat it again. XD

perhaps it's to prove we can all count & read, or that we have a warped sense of humour

but i got 10 & 22

Congrats to you,dear genial people on MTS2.You made the Ultimate Sims site.For me ( and many people) it has become as important as the game itself.All the wonderful stuff that you provide is so precious...Not only objects or hacks,but the tutes....They are so well done:Its a real teaching...I love you,creator(s),managers,moderators,etc
... and you talented members, for sharing your great creations with the whole community.
THANK YOU so much!

Is it done yet?

I am guessing yes.
I had backup all my old and new files onto a dvd of all things, my husbands idea.
After deleteing it all off my hard drive to save room I find that half the files was currupted, errg.
so I was downing my little heart out last night when I got booted out lol.
