| News: What do YOU want? |
| Posted: Ewok @ Thu Jan 21, 2010 12:51 am |
Time for a new round of ideas and suggestions, heres whats on my wish list:
- More mods
- Chat?
- Some sort of photo gallery/upload function (like http://chevereto.com/)
- vB (http://www.vbulletin.com/)
I still haven't fully implemented my insane plane to rip the site to shreds on the server side (having Apache and mySQL on seperate boxes, then working out what the load is like on each, and finetuning the virtual machines to cope). I'll also be looking at options for advertising and spreading the word about the site to get more people posting - might be a job for Daves

For a change
I've decided that I will upgrade the forum software to vBulletin and reopening the registrations (its currently manual - ugh).
If the internet debacle causes any problems I'll be moving the whole lot onto virtual hosting - we may have a few days up to a week of outages, but at least it'll work.
I also have one more little surprise coming that I think you'll all like

| News: This and That |
| Posted: Ewok @ Sat Dec 05, 2009 10:35 am |
After just over a year has passed since moving into my current address the building 組合 have informed me that my internet connection was not approved and its to be disconnected. I'll be disputing this (12 months have passed without comment, I was told that this was possible and it was a condition of me signing the contract, and the line was installed with the full knowledge of the management company and the building 管理人).
For the time being new account signups has been disabled.
There are some other issues which may mean we have to move out - at the very least we will not be renewing the contract if we are required to pay (due to other disputes regarding the apartment). This might prove to be the straw that breaks my sanity and I'm looking at my options for moving back to Australia in the next 10 months.
So don't be too surprised if Expat goes down sometime in the near future and doesn't come back

I think I pushed the wrong button 
Should be OK now. I've started buying parts to build a new PC, my current PC will be retired and become the new server. Once thats done I'll look at upgrading the forums software, not sure what I'll use at this point.

Good News! Email is finally working 100%
Much apologies for not having it working right for so long - hopefully now we have far less issues. People signing up will not get their confirmation instantly and I'll be writing a nice little newsletter in the next week to send to all of our users.
Thank you for your patience, and feel free to PM each other like crazy and get email notifications!
