  1. * This is done *
    Heads up everyone. All EMC servers will go down at 1AM EST tonight for planned database migration.
    The server the EMC database has lived on all this time has really not been properly built, and therefor will be migrated tonight to better hardware that is more appropriate for its usage (Right now we are only using like 3-5% of the server, AND the processor is slower than what we are moving it to!)

    So, to keep things running smooth, everything will be migrated tonight. Downtime could be up to an hour, but it is unknown.

    Thanks.

    *Note: if you vote during the downtime you will not receive credit for it.

  8. How are you guys able to reduce the lag? Maybe upgrade the servers?

  9. Is it just a migration of the database, or will there be extra upgrades to the database structure itself?

  15. The servers are superb, there would be barely a difference if they were upgraded.
