Buffistas Building a Better Board
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I have some unused space and access to broadband. I presume one threadsucks and saves the results? Anyone want to assign me some threads? I'll do them - well Tuesday, because today from 1:00 P.M. on and a good part of Monday are pretty well slammed.

OK. I really hate to say this, but:
Since we won't be hosting Buffistas.org for much longer, and you're all eyeing another Web host pretty strongly, we're going to make arrangements to downgrade back to a resellers account, from a semidedicated account. I'm sure you understand that, being a fledgling business, we have to watch every last penny.
What does this mean to you? We won't have the same amount of Web space, bandwidth and MySQL connections. If you are still going to be here past Nov. 30, this will most likely bring about the return of the dreaded error messages and possibly not being able to reach the board at all.
So I guess what I'm saying is, do you think you'll be moving by the end of the month? If we could know by Friday, that would be quite helpful to us in determining our future business plans.
Again, thank you for giving our services a chance, and I'm sorry we weren't able to meet the Buffistas' needs.
I think the end of the month should be a target.
Let's assemble tasks:
- Question iStrata (I have some about provided software -- are there others?) [ita]
- Archiving (underway -- we need to decide how many of the closed threads should be archived) [DX]
- Signing up [Jesse]
- Configuring [techies - ita/TomS?]
- Move buffistas.net DNS to point to iStrata [Jesse]
- Test migration to buffistas.net on iStrata [ita, w/Steven's help]
- Test banging on buffistas.net [team of volunteers]
- shut down b.org
- Migrate code and data to iStrata[ita]
- Move buffistas.org DNS to iStrata [Jesse]
- Go live
The main question I have about the provided software is whether or not we have to use it to manage the system. The web page wasn't very clear on that.
Did you not like what you see? Me, I'm in favour of web administration, because I can only use HTTP ports from work. Did you have a web alternative, or were you wanting a command line?
I'd like to know if they provide an offering akin to what you get with a standard account, including webmail, phpMyAdmin, mailing lists, etc.
I have been some page not found messages. Browser thing? I'm in ie
I got the same messages in Netscape. Locked out for 10 min or so.
I've been getting sporadic "cannot connect to remote server" messages in Opera this morning.
Which I'm getting again right now.
