Just to give you guys a little notice...

FABO is moving to new servers soon. More storage space, twice the ram, faster processors. For those of you who don't speak techno-geek, it basically means we're moving to bigger and faster servers.

I don't have a specific date yet, but it should be within the next 2 weeks or so.

DO NOT PANIC! I expect this will be smooth and easy. Only thing you guys will notice is a few hours of downtime one night. We are basically going to just copy the site over to the new servers. The site isn't changing, so nothing new for you guys to learn.

Just wanted to let you guys know so you wouldn't be surprised by the downtime.

Now we return you to your regularly scheduled program...
 
Just be sure to keep the old servers in a box in the garage in case you ever want to put FABO back to stock!

All sounds good, glad you are able to keep on top of it all !

I am quite surprised at the amount of Data that comes into FABO on a daily basis and is being stored on the servers. That takes some massive hard drive capacity on the servers like 10,000 Tera-Bites or more. Text is not quite so bad, but all the pictures take about a hundred times the space of text being there are so many pixels in each picture to store.

Thanks again for keeping things going.

Enjoying the Site . . .
 
Is this going to the secret location in the Sierra Nevadas in the government underground bunker that doesn't exist and you caint tell us about?
 
Down 2-3 hours! What am I gonna do. I hope this comes with some free counseling ! Oh no Oh no Oh no, 246 toothpicks, Mom we have a situation!
