Thanks for all the efforts upgrading the hardware and systems! 
IPCT New Server Coming Soon!
- Thread starter Mike
- Start date
The majority of the 700ms draw time is spent loading external dependencies.
In regards to the old server, it was not running on flash drives. It was utilizing SAS 15K RPM Hard Drives.
The new box is 100% flash-based storage on a Dell Enterprise server. It is not a Virtual Machine.
I can post some server porn photos from the Data Center, but Mike would need to approve.
As Mike said, we are pinpointing these "opps" errors to three possible scenarios. First issue was dealt a swift ass-whooping yesterday and has been monitored since.
Look forward to getting this place back in good shape for everyone.

Post some!!! Let's see her!
I will be adjusting the ads after we get the new server all squared away. I agree that they are overbearing now. Friendly reminder, you can help support IPCT and disable ads at the same time by purchasing an IPCT Plus package!
I don't see anyone reporting any issues today which I am taking as a good sign!

Its funny, ever since I stopped posting crazy young adult stuff (for purely satire reasons), I have yet to notice any server issues on my end. I take that as a good sign as well. I think it is time purge any threads which are irrelevant to the forum especially in the Chit Chat section.
Can save disk space and unecessary web traffic.

.We spent several more hours digging and making small tweaks, and things are starting to look good from the server's perspective.
Bertha the Server appears to be very happy.
Monday, we will pull the old server out of the rack and perform an official proper burial.

Need pictures or it never happened
Or CCTV footage
Hey, I/we know you guys are very busy and have alot on your plates with this new server, which ya'll have done a superior upgrade job thank you, but can you add to your list, or look into AI protection? Not sure if the Forum program allows this but for the security check it may be a good idea for a text # be sent to our phones instead of an e-mail address which obviously AI Bots are able to make an account (get pass the security check) and post their very obvious annoying messages...though I have stupidity replied to a couple of Bots here by mistake... 
AI invasion sucks, IMO, I am not like today's teenagers willing to have a conversation with AI...and we all know AI is going to get more and more undetectable, but I/we use this Forum for obtaining great information/insight from PEOPLE, hands on humans, experienced humans not AI or stupid bots.
Shout out to all my peps here...thank ya'll all on this Forum for some great conversations/insights/help/prayers, etc. I will never forget in 2020 when I lost both of my parents in the same year, the support I got from you guys here when I went through that ordeal. Something, NO AI bot can Ever replace/replicate...machines will never have feelings/empathy, kinda like my ex-wife
, maybe I was married to a Bot, hahaha

Speaking of Bots, whatha?
FWIW, I've been reporting these types over the years, probably 1 a week using the "Report" link bottom left of post. It violates the "Terms and rules" at bottom of window.
Please always report these posts so the mods can remove and ban!
Looks like the server is performing well?

It's pleasant to stop into the Site now. I'd get frustrated and avoid the place for weeks at a time.
You took the words right out of my mouth, @Flintstone61 !
Lovin' it, @Mike !
Thanks again for the hard work, your investment has and will pay off, I'm sure.
