I read the other thread and what I'm getting is that eithier another server is needed and/or new software. I am also getting the idea that these are cost prohibitive. What is needed as far as hardware and software and what is the cost?"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Well, any possible software costs would be nill with Free Software like OpenBSD, if any server software would be changed. However the server and bandwith costs are the real issues. If you would go with a separate physical MySQL database server, you could investigate what kind of a deal could be reached about that with RackShack, as it would have to be a tailor made offer. Also changing hosting provider could be one option then, if a better and moderately priced solution is found elsewhere. However if the mirror idea would be used, then you need to find a suitable hosting provider who can host a dedicated server and it would be located in the UK or Germany, so that would also require some calculations, but basically operational costs would double for the servers, which is however understandable.Originally posted by PLATO1003

Just to clarify it...
- 1 dedicated server (Settler II), RackShack, USA + 1 dedicated database server, RackShack, USA

, prices and operating costs are lower in france , belgium , and greece , .......
one particular mainframe comes to mind that is low cost , .....
however the real question is , do the site owners want to change the server , .....
the answer to that seems to be no for the moment and near future , ......

I didn't speak that the server should be changed. See what I said above in the compact message. Also the server has to bee located in a strategically well located place like near LINX in London or Frankfurt am Mein for good Europeanwide backbone connections. It's not just the operation costs that matter. Having two servers is anyway more expensive, so it's then better to locate is properly."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment

hi ,
there are other backbone infrastrucures that are way more cheaper then just those two cities , .....
two server might indeed be costly , but it could be a smart thing to do for mid and longer term planning , ....
one in europe , one in the states , ......
we shall have to wait and see till Mark or Dan decide to do it , ..... wanna bet one day we wake up and they say to us , sure we have been planning this all along , ..... and bang , the server is there , .....

Good to hear that we have the same basic idea, Panag.
Yes, now we just have to wait and see. I foresee this after donations and/or sponsored memberships will be concidered again by them. I bet it will take at least until Markos is back from the military duties next May or June.

, actually if you would know Mark , dont be surprised that one weekend or so when he comes home he does it , ....... 
donations , well if the site keeps growing the way it does , if only one in ten buys something true the links and banners , they shall have plenty of income to fund it , ......
lets all support apolyton and buy c3c true a poly banner , .....

I haven't had any problems with Poly, except for the now-continuous search engine failure.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Banners are ineffective. What is needed are donations and sponsored memberships. It's basic business know-how. The supply should meet the demand. Banners and pop-ups are just ineffective in comparison to those. The incomes won't rise with any of the current ads. They already had to add more in order to be able to fund the current services."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment
