unless something really fucks up within the next few days... we're moving to a newer, faster and more sexier dedicated server.
Processor 2x3.0Ghz XEON RAM 1GB ECC Hard Drive 80GB SATA Redundant GigE NICs Dual 10/100/1000Mbps NICs
we're also swithing to the more faster and more flexible fedora 4 linux distrib, instead of the out-dated and un-supporter red hat distrib.... so both software and hardware will get quite a boost...
this actually means another $70 charge of fee per month. but thanks to premium members and google ads, we're able to do this.
all this combined with the new optimized techniques and features in xltronic v2 (we're recoding the whole engine/site), will perhaps feature quite a pleasant trip. the premium accounts will be rewarded even more.... more exclusive features.
xltronic is tha blast!

yay! i'll increase my donating as soon as i fix my current (broke as a mouse) situation!
does this mean there will be more slots for radio stream available? surely there's going to be +50 listeners when aphex plays..

yes, more radio slots.... more of everything.
we just want to make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. we're currently optimizing the code and that alone will speed up areas such as the messageboard.... but xlt v2 = more features + more content, which in fact might be cumbersome for the server to handle (if there are many similiar requests) so that combined with the fact that we got a nice offer from our webhosting company generated this step.

the migration will be performed in the background and is an ongoing transparent process during the next two weeks. but there will prolly be a small gap when we actually goes live with the new server, perhaps for a day.

More radio slots... does that mean channels? Would you be able to run a regular dj, while giving people the option to listen to a rerun of some of the better radio spots instead?

no, slots are = number of concurrent listeners.
as for "channels".... i've already setup the radio to run on different ports which means we can broadcast live sessions on ONE channel and run 24/7 radio on ANOTHER channel - at the same time.
if i have time i'll activate it tonight.

Great!
A new server is really what we need...!
Stupid question: should we register ourselves again on xlt v2? Or the new site will be just a BIG "upgrade" of the current xlt?

I'm not a web designer or something like that but I suppose, with a new server we would have our MB more fast, because sometimes when I'm browsing xlt, it used to crash for about 10 minutes and more. Another thing: the new search engine will work fine with a new and powerful server which means the mb won't go down for that reason anymore.
Of course correct me if I'm wrong...

i know it's a catch 22, but the google ads make me want to not donate... maybe if you're premium the google ads don't display? maybe up the price of being premium?

I think you should ban wma files :D
50meg is a damn nice figure. Should allow quite a few tracks.
Are we able to hotlink to files on our own server in this page as well?
