Shouldn't threads like these strictly be done by a staff member? Paul already made a thread on the down time and the new server upgrade and Needa just made an update thread last week. When a member posts a thread like this... well you know how that goes.

I asked NeedaLifeSoon if I could post this, and he said to try it. It doesn't have to be a staff job, it's just known for staff to do it.

It isn't any faster (at least for me) before we upgraded to the new server. Still feels about the same. :p

magglass, if you see this thread, thank you so much for working so hard and everything you do on the site. We ALL really appreciate you working days and nights with working on the servers just so we can have a place to come to and sit back and hang out every day. So thank you again. Smile

Jesse, we will miss you very much and thanks for contributing so much to the site when you where a Moderator and enforcing the rules. I wish you the best in school and hope you don't treat NGU like a ghost town now that you retired. Come back and see us every once in a while man. :y:

I would also like to thank all of the Administrators for working your butts off and really doing a great job on the site. This site looks better and better every day, and it's 4 years old, and we are STILL growing big. You guys are the ones that make it possible for us to all have such a great time on NGU and you all are the reason we keep coming back to NGU and keep logging back in every day. Smile

Thanks for reading, :y:

They didn't have the CPUs we wanted in stock, so we're using E5-2620's for now. Once the E5-2650's become available, we'll upgrade and you should see some improvement. Smile
